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.

Put IoC front and centre
Bake inversion of control into the framework and reduce the reliance on inheritance. This will allow greater extensibility and enable new scenarios. A good example of this is MVCTurbine (http://turbineproject.com) - rather than developers having to roll infrastructure themselves, they could hit the ground running with their IoC container of choice.

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.

Take my site/app offline during publishing
Currently when I publish my site/app it stay's online. It would be better to drop an app_offline.htm during publishing so that my app doesn't behave in a funky fashion.
625 votesJust wanted to let you know that we are considering adding support for this in a future version. For those of you who are interested in a work around for the short term I have posted a blog on this at http://sedodream.com/2012/01/08/HowToTakeYourWebAppOfflineDuringPublishing.aspx.

Support Spark inside VisualStudio
Spark is great but doesn't have a very good developer story inside VS. Having intellisense work on Spark views would be really great, not only code-wise but also for HTML and JS

Find dead/unused code in the solution
After some time certain parts of code i n a project end up not being used anymore and just waste screen estate. It would be handy if Visual Studio could detect this and warn you about it.

Allow me to store my Visual Studio preferences as separate profiles in the cloud
Store all of my settings associated with my LiveID or OpenID, and let me easily pick between for example my desktop, laptop, presenter, etc. settings. If I walk up to a friend's machine, I should be able to grab my settings from the cloud and when I'm done, he can revert to his, with minimal effort.

Compress and minify published ASP.NET pages
I made a small test and on a standard ASP.NET page, just only with removing whitespaces and line breaks, page size decreased by %35-40. Lower page size means higher performance. There are solutions for it but all are based on server side dynamic solutions. But there is a simplier way. For ex. just clean it when it is published and generate dynamic controls accordingly. It won't any give runtime overhead and will only give performance.

Make WebDeploy transactional
When deploying a site, the previous version should continue to run. If the deployment fails, the site should continue to run on the previous version. If it succeeds, the switch should happen after publication is complete.

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.
190 votesKnockout, SPA, Upshot and other JS libraries are being worked on and combined now to make this a better story.

Remove Visual Studio Dependencies from MSTest
I can't stand the idea of having to install Visual Studio on a build server. MSTest should be standalone like NUnit (or any other test frameworks).

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.151 votesHi Michael, if I understand you correctly you want a way to easily publish a small set of files to the destination. We’ve heard similar feedback previously and I appreciate you creating this item here. I have placed an entry on our backlog for this so that we can consider it for a future version.

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.

Precompile razor view before publishing
Compiling views on the webserver takes a lot of ressource, and during that time the application is slow to respond.
I would be great if we could publish compiled versions of our views. I know razorgenerator do this, but it's not native and we only want compile views for deployment, not when developing.Thanks
