Restore the possibility to remove a linked file from a project under source control without deleting the actual file
In VS2008 I could delete a linked file from a project under source control and this would only trigger a pending change for my vbproj file. If I do the same in VS2010 this triggers a pending change for the actual delete of the linked file. This is not how it should work, because I don't want to delete the file, it's still needed in an other project. I just want to remove the link to the file

Allow more types as parameters to Type Providers
Allow more than just strings as parameters to type providers. Streams and Quotations are examples that would make them far more usable. Wrt Streams, the XML, JSON, and other parser-style type providers would really benefit.

allow users to do an "any word" search.
TFS should have the ability to search for multiple words without a requirement that the words be together in the field searched. For example, if I want to search the text "this user needs to be able to do multiple-word searches on any word", I MUST enter the text exactly like that in TFS in order to return the record. I should be able to type in "multiple word user" and have the previous text be returned by the search.
This functionality is essential for our office, which includes a TFS install that has over 16,000 records that have been…

Team Explorer Everywhere: Add Ability to Rollback one or more Changesets
I am using Team Explorer Everywhere v10.1.0 with Eclipse Indigo SR1 and JDK 1.6.0 u14.
Use Case 1 - Revert all changes for one or more Changeset(s)
----------
From the 'History' panel, I would like the ability to click on one or more changesets and select "Rollback all changes" or "Revert changes". In my local workfolder, this will undo the changes related to the selected changeset(s), after which time I can choose to view, Check In changes or Undo Pending changes. This is a common and very useful use-case from the Subversion revision control system.Use Case 2 - Roll…

Allow Expression.Assign() to set readonly struct fields as in IL & reflection
Expression trees offer a very good alternative to direct IL generation, they are much easier to write and debug. Yet, for some reason, they attempt to enforce C# language rules instead of allowing the same functionality as reflection and IL.
When deserializing an array of structs T, if the struct contains a readonly field, there are no way to initialize it except through the use of IL or reflection.
Expression.Assign( fieldOfStructInArrayExpression , newValueExpression )
throws ArgumentException "Expression must be writeable"Disscussion is at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9930459/how-to-initialize-a-struct-in-array-with-readonly-values-using-expression-trees

Support for the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome on the MTM and Coded UI
The feature pack 2 and the support for the Firefox was a great advance, however the Firefox has been updated and the adoption of Chrome is increasing and all the time that I show MTM for my customers, the first question is "Do you support Chrome and Firefox?".
It's unnecessary say that, sometimes it is a blocker.

Add Works as Designed to Bug PBI
Currently, a bug has 3 states, Approved, Committed, and Done. I would like another state related to items entered that end up being unfounded, or works as designed. We generate release notes from Bug entries, and the state does not identify if its a valid bug or not without opening it up, which can get time consuming. If we had an option such as Works as Designed, it would save us a lot of time.

Implement IReadOnlyCollection<'T> in list<'T>
.Net 4.5 has a new type IReadOnlyCollection<'T> and list<'T> (a.k.a. FSharpList<'T>) fits this interface precisely, so I think it should implement it.

Use relative path in testsettings for Setup & Celanup script
In the testsettings of VS there are absolute paths used for the test setup & the test cleanup scripts.
This is annoying I think when moving the solution (and also as a matter of principle ... )
The deployment items in the testsettings for example do have a relative path. (of course)7 votes -
Make the test case edit window larger, or be able to be expanded to full screen.
Currently I use excel to create and edit all test cases, then I paste them into MTM TCs because its very difficult to write multiple test cases with only being able to view 4 rows of test steps.

Making a NotImplementedAttribute that would give an warning when it's attached to a method, just like the Obsolete
A simple question: Why there isn't any NotImplementedAttribute in .NET?
You can always throw the exception, but I think it would be nice for this to work as the ObsoleteAttribute -> you get an warning for using that method.
Ok, you have a method with this attribute, and when you implement it you have to remove the attribute by hand, but I think this is safer than using methods with throw new NotImplementedException() inside...and wait for them to get called.
I remember reading that the Obsolete is hard coded into the compiler, but maybe there is some spare room for…

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.
