Liscence PSoC IDE from Cypress Semicondutor to create UWP app with VB6 syntax as backend
I code for micro controllers and also create GUI in UWP. With each passing year I feel coding for PC is taking more effort while coding for the embedded systems is becoming more easy.
PSoC IDE from Cypress Semiconductor is a revolutionary idea for coding micro controllers. But the irony is a Text based IDE like Arduino is more popular than the PSoC idea. The Arduino IDE hides under the hood all aspects of the microcontroller, while the PSoC IDE exposes every single aspect of the micro controller with graphics to make life easy for the embedded developer.

Expand the Computed Values node by default in the Live Property Explorer window
When debugging XAML code, I use the Live Property Explorer window a lot. I often need to see the ActualHeight and ActualWidth values.
By default, the Computed Values category node is collapsed. If I expand that node, and then select a different XAML element, the node is collapsed again, which is super annoying.
It would be nice of the Computer Values node is expanded by default, or VS should remember its state and keep it expanded when I switch to another XAML element.

provide better design time support for WPF
I am a devoted user of WinForms' technology, I recently started to develop in WPF 4 and I noticed that my productivity is lowered into creating GUI even banal.
The Visual Studio designer for WPF can not even remotely stand comparison with WinFroms one, so there are tons of XAML to write by hand.
In the visual studio designer certainly less functional part is the PropertyGrid that can not be of help if not to set the boolean fields.
I hope that the next version of VS there is a much better designer4 votes -
is UWP alive or dead? Windows 10 programers confused as heck...
I got to say, Microsoft has everybody confused as heck... they kill off windows Mobile... but the Windows 10 programming books on the market still push UWP... so you download the code examples off of docs.microsoft.com and they want you to install a Windows Phone emulator just to run the sample code... WTF Microsoft? you people are confusing the **** out of the public... I look and I see that Microsoft's team is converting Control people into a UWP application, yet the outward signs from their document website is that UWP is shutdown because it based on windows mobile emulator…

Create UWP app with Small Basic
I am reposting a idea proposed in 2013 which did not get a second vote:
If Bill Gates was watching he would have voted a million times for this idea.
If this was done in 2013 when Original Poster (OP) disclosed, Lumia would not have died and M$ would not have incurred the millions of dollar loss.
OP is a visionary and I am opening it again.--- original post ----
MS Small Basic is an excellent language
inspired by our old Basic
I trained with him young people from 16/17 years in the secondary

Non-Responsive Design View
The design view in Visual Studio has become so slow as to be almost obsolete.
Originally I was bewildered by the inevitable 'Not Responding' message, as I'm working on a top range Surface Pro 3.Killing every other process not required has made no difference.
I even briefly installed Visual Studio on a research PC for high performance computing, with 920 I7 processors, and even it hangs!
I've now spent days researching how to resolve this, and have made one very interesting discovery: I am one of the very few people who still use Design Mode in Visual Studio, as…

I have some controls (for example small desktop clock) which I build with vectors. I don't need any title bar. I don't need window frame. I just want to enlarge my application by dragging bottom right corner. I provided you the sample, compile it and run it.4 votes -
Line Spacing Property for TextBox

XAML designer readonly option
The XAML designer should have a toggle that prevents auto inserting properties into the XAML code. I would still like to be able to jump to the selected control when clicking on it in the designer.

WPF - Allow 'or' statements in triggers
Something as simple as being able to make one trigger with a bunch of bindings or properties to look at where any one of them returning a value that corresponds with the one defined in the trigger would drastically cut down on chaff code when making triggers.

把壳应用的思想引进到uwp中来
客户机上 保存一个 较小的 库与 运行时(core 库,与core运行时) 然后 从 服务器下载 界面代码,与内容代码,而不必安装到客户机,客户机可以统一缓存 已经浏览过的 程序的界面以便下次打开更快,但这要求 发布都 有自己的 服务器,
这种做法的好处是:1,帮助更多的 公司发布壳应用,以起到类似网站的作用,但是,有签于uwp的开发方式与性能方面的可能对比传统网页 更具优势,至少也是一种非常不错的补充。
2,帮助微软自己消费更多的公有云的机会,因为更多的开者为了发布壳应用 需要公有云支持,而paas saas 在azure都做得比较细比较好。
3,帮助客户大量 高粘度的使用uwp而不必安装致使客户机器慢慢变得臃肿。很多东西看了就扔了,完全不必安装。网络时代安装 比较小众化和精品化,而打开与浏览才是大众化的。让个人开发者做精品以给 客户安装的时代已经过去了,更多的人更适合开发的是 基于 服务与内容消费的web应用。
这壳思想所能给uwp带来的,是从silverlight的中得来的思想对uwp的一种 补充。

Add an option to deploy and then run the program automatically on the device the app was deployed to without actually debugging
This would make it so much faster to test apps on devices (especially external ones) when you want to test the app straight away without the need to debug it with Visual Studio.

Visual Studio 2017, when in the WPF XAML, an object property is bound to an UI control, the reference link on the class is missing
In Visual Studio 2017, all editions, when, in the WPF XAML, an object property is bound to a UI XAML control, the reference link on the class source code should reflect this 1 reference in the reference count above the property and the link to that reference could point to the XAML element/control.
Typically, each binding has these four components: a binding target object, a target property, a binding source, and a path to the value in the binding source to use.
For example, if you want to bind the content of a TextBox to the Name property of an…3 votes -

Extend xml:space to support "remove" for TextBlock and RichTextBlock Run Collections
This is an extremely easy and non-breaking way to solve the long-running problem of undesired spaced between <Run> elements in a <Run> collection. Not having inner text between the <Run> elements in the XAML source doesn't really work because generally we want the XAML editor to support reformatting by nicely breaking <Run> elements onto separate lines. Extending xml:space to support "remove" means existing code will not be broken, but developers can add the tag to instruct the parser to discard the entire inner text if it is all whitespace. If MS is worried about a conflict with possible future XML…

Migrate PivotViewer Control For Big Data to UWP/WPF LOB
Being a Silverlight developer since 2009, the advent of Silverlight PivotViewer Control shifting the handling of large datasets giving a way of filtering and analyzing large volumes of data. With the advent of Big Data I believe the SeaDragon PivotViewer lastest binaries should be brought over to WPF/UWP apps as are well needed tool.

Make it possible to edit MediaTransportControls visually in Blend and Visual Studio
Currently to customize the MediaTransportControls, we have to copy the style from General.xaml from the SDK. Trying to "Edit a Copy" of the style of MTC results in an error, and copying and referencing the style by Key does not allow us to edit the style within the editor.
The current workaround is as described above, to copy the style and edit it in XAML, but without the power of Blend / VS.

no universal app template
I just installed Visual Studio 2015 in my Windows 8.1 environment. There is no Windows Universal App template installed and I could not find the template online.
I understand we were to be able to create Windows Universal Apps in Windows 8.1 with limited development capabilities.
3 votesCould you please let me know what you selected in the installation settings? You need to make sure you select the Windows Development Tools.
When you install, if you select “Custom” and then choose the “Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools” checkbox, you should see the Windows 8.1 Universal templates.
