It would be very nice to have a control for displaying DGML graphs at runtime for my application. I think it would make a greate UI element.

This notification should include the projects, TFS URL that can be used to connect to it, and other useful data

When you add a registry search condition to a setup project in VS 2010, and set the project to compile for 64-bit arch, the .msi will only search the 32-bit registry hive for the condition.

So, If the value you are looking for is in the 64-bit Hive, setup will throw an exception because the .msi only checks the 32-bit hive.

My idea is, if you are compiling your program to work on 64-bit computers and you have a registry search condition, let the program search both the 32-bit and 64-bit hives.

In the .net framework, they are at least two instances where zero length arrays are cached.
One at System.Collections.Generic.List<T>._emptyArray (mscorlib) and one at System.Linq.EmptyEnumerable<TElement>.instance (System.Core). They are maybe more but that's what I found.

I wish it existed some kind class in mscorlib that implemented this once and be publicly accessible.
Now I have to implement my own caching a third time, since none of the above are public.

PS. I know that I can cast System.Linq.Enumerable.Empty<TResult>() to TResult[] but I find it, a bit risky.

If you change font in Environment->Fonts and Colors->Environment Font , it changes for all VisualStudio.
You cannot specify only Solution Explorer or only menu.
Please separate them.

Working on Visual Studio, when you open a work item query, the results window shows its contents in the horizontal split view. If we prefer the vertical split view, we have to change it every time we open the window. Team explorer should have a way to configure this behavior. The same happens for folder/flat view in pending changes window.

In VS2008 a list of errors would always appear at the bottom of the screen after a solution build in which errors were flagged. That was a good idea, but does not happen in my version of VS 11 Beta

I very much like the list on the right, and that a simple click takes you right to the GUI, code block, etc. you select. I also like the addition of the code under the GUI. However, when you select a code block this way, you don't go to the last place you were in the code, as happens when you go there by selecting a tab. It would be much more convienient to go to the last place you were in the block.

I have the Exceptions window on a custom button on a toolbar. There are some projects where I need to disable breaking on Thrown exceptions to get the app to the point I'm debugging, then re-enable it. This process can be quite slow. I only ever click one check box, the same check box, so it seems redundant having to wait for the dialog to appear each time.

instead of having to type:

nullableInt = nullableInt ?? 0;

let me do this:

nullableInt ??= 0;

For some reason it seems to be taking over a minute each time I try to edit a file that is currently checked into TFS when using the tfspreview.com service. Obviously, that is unacceptably too long to wait.

When using Windows Phone this problem appears:

The single digits of a typed phone number CAN NOT be changed after calling the number (and ending the call), when recalling it in the list of "made calls" (eg. to change the dialed extension or to correct a miss-dialed number).

Why is the Storyboarding functionality not installed when you use the Team Explorer installer, like is done with the Excel and Project add-ins? In my opinion this tool should typically be used by program managers, so it is overdone to install a VS Professional or higher.
So please, make it available in the Team Explorer installer.

One of the primary ideas behind a REST API is that it is stateless. The current implementation of Web API seems to rely on Form Based Authentication. I would suggest ripping API Authentication out by default and have the default Web API template modified to reflect that. A selection of authentication of providers should be provided by the community or separate plug and play solutions.

Basically, have the ability to point to a folder and specify a few file types (*.cpp, *.h, *hpp) and they get imported in Solution Explorer for the project.
