    1. 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.

      • 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

        • 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.

            • Provide JavaScript Refactoring Tools

              Just like you have many refactoring tools for c#, it would be nice to have many of those features for JavaScript

              • Update Asp Net Providers

                The asp.net providers (membership, profiles, roles, etc) are a bit dated. This does not only include the specific implementation of the providerrs (SQL providers) but also the base classes themselves.

                • 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.

                    • T4 editting

                      T4 is no longer just a tool used internally by VS, but is being increasingly used by developers for code generation. It would be great to have syntax highlighting, intellisense etc. out of the box.

                      I appreciate this is probably more of a Visual Studio feature request than an ASP.NET one, but as T4 is used a lot within ASP.NET projects, particularly MVC ones, I figure it's worth a mention.

                      • Combine and Minify Generated JS

                        ASP.NET dynamically adds JS files to pages. These files should be combined and minified into 1 file before being served on the page.

                        • 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.

                            • 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.

                                      • 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).
