Provide an option to save Visual Studio Settings on SkyDrive
In Visual Studio we have the possibility to share our settings via a network drive. The only problem is, that if you do not have a home server, you need to synchronize the settings by yourself via i.e. USB Dtick between your work-PC, home-PC and notebook. It would be great, if we'd get a possibility to save the settings on SkyDrive, to allow all VS instances on each computer we use, to use the same settings.

list all builds in MTMs "Previous builds to compare" even if they have been deleted by retention policies
When comparing builds in Microsoft Test Manager to see affected work items, you one can only pick from builds that haven't been deleted by retention policies.
This often leads to an incomplete list of affected work items since, in our case, retention policies only keep the 10 latest builds.
This could be solved by MTM querying the database for builds ignoring the flag for "deleted".1 vote -
Improve error message for witadmin importcommonprocessconfig
During upgrade to Tfs2011 of a custom project template, importcommonprocessconfig failed with an error indicating that some states on item types were not found while the states were defined and imported without errors
The cause seemed to originate in the fact that the state transitions in the wit type definition referred to user groups that were not available (the server was not in the domain)
After removing the "for" attribute from the transition element the importcommonprocessconfig worked fine.
Thanks

return value optimization and debug
I hope return value optimization can be optionally turned on/off (or at least turned on) under Debug mode; Currently it is by default enabled under Release but no way to turn it on under Debug with the debug information viewable while debugging...

Add a way to know the starting point of a branch
Actually, there is no easy way to precisely identify the changeset from which a branch has been created.
We can view the hierarchy of course but not the starting point without perform a sql query in the project collection database.4 votes -

Make it easier to find related work items for pending changes
Please make it easier to find related work items from the new pending changes view. I would like to see a search box instead of a text box to enter a difficult to remember unique ID. If I absolutely must drag & drop work items to this canvas, then I would like an easier way to open up a work item query without having to navigate away from the pending changes view. I'm surprised this wasn't addressed in the Beta as I can't imagine anyone actually who has used this preferring it to the old way of associating work items…

Aliasing a property name should be possible
There should be a possibility of aliasing a property name.
E.g.:
Problem:
A class implements two different interfaces which have a property with the same name. In this case, currently we would have to implement either of the interfaces explicitly; and while accessing the explicitly implemented properties, we would have to type cast the object to the interface and then access the property.Sample Code:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
MyTextBox txt = new MyTextBox();
txt.Text = "SimpleText";
((IMyComplexTextBox)txt).Text = "ComplexText";Console.WriteLine(txt.Text);
Console.WriteLine(((IMyComplexTextBox)txt).Text);Console.Read();
}
}public interface IMySimpleTextBox
{
string Text { get; set; }
}…

VS11: Solution Explorer Member Ordering
Solution Explorer should sort the members in a class alphabetically rather than by how they appear in the file. Given a class with a reasonable number of members there is no easy way to find the member you want without searching or scanning the members. Ideally this should be configurable but at least make it consistent with the rest of SE for this release.

Add methods alert
similar at the method documentation, (using ///), add something else like an alert the user make and other using the class will see like the following.
<alert>This Method will purge all attributes!</alert>
public void DeleteDataObject (int objectId) { }when ever the method is used the user sees a small icon alarming him of the tricky behaviour of the method, constructor, or getter and setter

Allow Modules window to be filtered or grouped
Currently Debug->Modules window doesn't allow neither to be filtered (e.g. by name and wildcard) or grouped (e.g. by process),
nor columns to be truly hidden (columns' width is decreased to 0 instead).26 votes -
Show references to Nuget packages, not all the .dll's in them
There references show for a project in Solution Explorer shows every dll file. If the dll is from a Nuget package, it would be simpler to list the Nuget package instead.

Our team has been working on an extension for Visual Studio 2012 that adds support for JSDoc comments to IntelliSense. If you’d like to try it out you can install the latest Web Essentials extension from Mads Kristensen:
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/07d54d12-7133-4e15-becb-6f451ea3bea6
We’re trialing the feature here and would appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
