When removing project from solution ask user for confirmation if the project is being used by another solution
The behaviour of VS2010 right now is that if you remove a project from a solution and other projects reference it then VS will remove the project reference from all the projects including checking them out of source control WITHOUT any confirmation!
VS should warn the user that the project is being used and ask for confirmation.1 vote -
Add option to Visual studio to avoid compilation of projects whose depenancies failed compilation
Right now, if you have a solution with two projects A & B when A depend on B and you compile the solution then A will be compiled even if B failed compilation.
It would be nice to have an option to prevent this.1 vote -
Allow checking for enum in generic constraints.
For example:
Test<T>(T mask, T flag) where T : enumIt's a bit irritating that the compiler can't seperate enums from other value types.

Instant file preview doesn't work for parent file of nested files.
In the RC (didn't try the beta),when you select a file in the Solution Explorer a preview pane opens with the content of the file. This feature is awesome but it doesn't work for parent files. Like if you have an App.xaml with a nested App.xaml.cs file file preview will only work for the nested App.xaml.cs file and not the parent App.xaml file. Please make it work for both.

Publish internally known (non-security) bugs
Currently the only way for us devs to know that the issue that has been haunting us for days is known and somehow processed, is if by accident some other non-msft developer had reported it in connect. It seems the vast majority of bugs *known to MS* do not appear there, and devs are forced to re-discover them again and again.
There doesn't seem to be even any release-notes or other list of known issues. But why not aim even higher? I'd love to see a live, public repository of known issues, updated with their triage results and expected resolution…

please improve quality and performance of NGEN dll
currently, ngened dll's quality is about same or worse than JITed dll. please make ngened dll to have better quality by spending more time on optimizing final dll. it doesn't make sense that the ngened dll's instruction quality to be same as JITed one where things are optimized for speed of jitting but not for performance of actual app running.
ngen should be able to even produce better code than others who creates dlls before hand, but not on clients machine. but currently, it doesnt do that.
also, please remove the hard link limitation the ngened dll has on references.

Allow Burndown to use story points instead of hours
We typically don't use hours on our tasks. It would be nice to change the burndown in TFS to use story points on completed/non-completed PBIs instead.

VS11 Bug - HTML auto-formatting strips spaces where it shoudn't
When you format HTML document (CTR+K,D) in Visual Studio 11 Beta, it strips some whitespaces which should be kept (screwing the document formatting). For example:
<a href="#">123</a> | ..becomes.. <a href="#">123</a>|
<strong>123</strong> или ..becomes.. <strong>123</strong>илиetc.
Those bugs make HTML auto-formatting useless. Has to be fixed before the RTM.

Support for OpacityMask in WinRT
I understand that the OpacityMask was removed for UI performance reasons, but just because it may be over utilized by some doesnt mean it should be dropped all together.

Start Browser with defined resolution
You have nicely included the option to start debugging with different browsers. What really would complete an awesome debugging experience would be an option to define and select different resolutions and start debugging with a defined window size. Even the option to select multiple sizes and have several browser start with different resolutions would be nice.

Make code review feature usable
The current philosophy seems to be that only active team members can participate in code reviews which are always made for one check-in. Here are a few suggestions on how to make it more usable.
1) Make it web-based so one doesn't need Visual Studio (and sources for entire solution). This way one could easily ask for consultancy from a remote expert
2) Make it possible to create review request afterwards and possibly spanning multiple check-ins. The current practise suggests people to do huge check-ins which is not a best practise.
3) Have the comments to make a discussion tree.…43 votes
