  1. Knockout Intellisense for databinding to a specific ViewModel using Design Time Comment like in XAML

    It would be helpful if they allowed you to add a html comment specialized in letting the designer know that a specific region is using a specific JavaScript file that represents the view model. That way when the designer can’t figure it out, we can override it to be very specific. This would be very similar to the design time XAML syntax you can use to tell it the data bind type.

    • Support Script# and give us an answer to the Google Web Toolkit.

      I would love to use Script# similar to how Google Web Toolkit works. Your Javascript story is still pretty weak in terms of allowing us to easily make complicated AJAX applications.

      • New membership provider interface supporting redirection-based login

        OpenID, ADFS, and other redirection-based login protocols don't fit the membership provider interface at all. Please add an interface that can be implemented by an OpenID library decently.

        • Integrated ftp uploader for website files.

          In most case scenarios I'm uploading my website files using ftp and publishing tool is very uncomfortable.Meanwhile not all hosting companies are giving full access to their servers.
          I remember in VS2005 there was an extension named Dispatch. It was very comfortable, right click, upload and file is on deployment server.
          I think this can really save a lot of development time.

            • Global intellisense for javascript and css in Visual Studio

              Would be nice if Visual Studio would inspect the javascript and css files in the project and show intellisense for the files in partials, user control, master pages, pages, etc.

              • Add IntelliSense for CSS Selectors

                Can you add IntelliSense support for CSS selectors in stylesheets?

                You can autocomplete all HTML tag names, all pseudo-classes (preferably with parameter hints) and pseudo-elements, and all IDs and classes that appear in other selectors in that or other stylesheets.

                    • Make intellisense track included JavaScript ressources via @Url.Content("...") etc.

                      Including a ressource using the following works. So Intellisense is available for the included ressource.

                      <script type="text/javascript" scr="/path/to/file.js"></script>

                      But as always, paths are note absolute. So asp.net mvc offers Url.Content("...") to dynamically generate the correct path to the requested file no matter where the application is placed in the web folder hierarchy.

                      So it would be very nice if you could make Intellisense also track paths specified in @Url.Content("") so that it is available for includes JS classes/functions.

                            • In the copy web site box, allow me to compare two files.

                              Before (or instead of) copying a file from one site to another it would be very useful to be able to compare the two files to see what differences there are.

                                Hi BWK, we are currently investing to make the Web App project and Website publishing experience the same. We are bringing all the Web app project publish experience to Websites.

                                We are also interested in having a feature like you state on the Publish dialog. Since Copy Website is only for websites we are likely to invest in the compare feature for the publish dialog since it is shared with both Web app project and Websites.
