c++11 keyword alignas is not implemented
Please implement alignas keyword , so code like this compiles
// every object of type sse_t will be aligned to 16-byte boundary
struct alignas(16) sse_t
{
float sse_data[4];
};Now it compiles as
// every object of type sse_t will be aligned to 16-byte boundary
struct __declspec(align(16)) sse_t
{
float sse_data[4];
};In Visual Studio 2010 it was possible to make a define,
In Visual Studio 2012 rc is not, because alignas is treated in the headers as c++ keyword.8 votes -
The WITH keyword !
Add in C# the "WITH" keyword from VB. I'm tired of typing MyWonderfulObject.Height = 9;
MyWonderfulObject.Width=10;
MyWonderfulObject.Might=Moderate;
MyWonderfulObject.Color=Color.Red;
etc
etc.I would like this:
With MyWonderfulObject
{
.Length=10;
.Height=10;
.Color=Color.Red;

Use friendly notification/toast when app crashes
I suggest using a toast or notification with a friendly message when app crashes unexpectedly and before or after it closes. Instead as of today when the app just closes down and the user is left with a question mark to what happend.
It could be just as simple as "The app closed down unexpectedly", visible for a few seconds.
And the toast / notification could for example contain an question mark-button pointing to some help section explaining why the message appeared and what possible solutions there is.Maybe this could be configurable, but enabled by default.

Visual Studio can have “Go Offline” option besides “Go Online”
TFS consumes a lot of memory usually. Therefore, using Visual Studio to connect to TFS makes CPU 100%. When I make it offline , everything is working properly. I hope Visual Studio can have “Go Offline” option besides “Go Online”

Dynamically linking .net DLLs at runtime
Ability to dynamically link to .net or native dlls at runtime.
E.g. if the library has been altered, it will cause exceptions to be thrown. If you could check the library version before using it, you could have error messages of your own or better handling.1 vote -
If theme is a big deal...
Allow users to choose a theme they prefer. We code in this all day everyday and the less color style is really hard on the eyes! Please listen to your developers. Most of us want to continue using a colorful theme (as in VS 2010) so if you want to change it - at least let us customize it - that would be a great new feature. Same for the ALL CAPS. Default it to normal menus, but let developers choose if they want CAPS. Otherwise, keep up the great work on speeding things up and making it better for…

option to controll collapsing level in Solution Explorer
have an option to control how the collapse button work in Solution Explorer -- currently it collapse everything, would be good to either "collapse up to file", "collapse up to project", "collapse up to folder" or "collapse up to solution (current default)" etc

Expose Computed Properties in the OData endpoint.
The current implementation of LS does not expose the Computed Property - At the very least last computed result should be exposed as a Property within the OData endpoint.

Change two UI details...
First, there is documented UX research showing that words written in all caps are ****** to read and recognize quickly. Please change the top menu bar from all caps back to typical capitalization! I find the menus so hard to read!
Second, I don't like the lack of color differentiation on the Solution Explorer.. Folders, Forms, Script files etc are all the same color, making it extremely hard to differentiate between them quickly. Again, use of color is a basic UX principle, why abandon it?1 vote -
Add String.Exists to do the same thing as String.IsNullOrEmpty
I have a TextHelper that does this, but it is a very long to type String.IsNullOrEmpty() when you have compound if statements.
// existing compound if statement
if ((this.HasGateway) && (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(connectionString)))
{
}// Much shorter to type
if ((this.HasGateway) && (!String.Exists(connectionString)))

When sending a work item to Outlook to use Outlook mail format options
I'm constantly sending emails to clients and colleagues from Visual Studio but each time it creates the email it uses Times New Roman as the font within the email; however I've set Calibri as my default font when creating new emails. I'm having to constantly go and reformat the additional text and feedback to the font I've set as my default within the emails.

Allow easy export of folder diff to excel or plain text
It's relatively simple to compare two folders, but I haven't found an easy way to export that to a text file or an easily queryable excel file. Youc an get there from the command line (with some work), but there's also no easy way to copy/paste all the command line parameters from the UI or to invoke the modify filter dialog from the command line.

Visualize Blocked Task in Task board
In TFS 2012 (Scrum Template) you can set a Task to Blocked. Problem is you need a query to see a task is blocked. I suggest Visualizing it in the Sprint board so that Team member know the item is blocked.
