  1. 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.

    • 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.

      • Improve localization support in DataAnnotations

        Today it's impossible to fully localize the view models / validations without using hacks or clutter the view models with the ErrorResourceName etc.

        It would be a lot easier to handle localization if you created an extension point where one could register custom string providers.

        Something like:

        LocalizationStringProvider.Clear();
        LocalizationStringProvider.Add(new MySqlProvider());

        • Enable Edit and Continue within IIS Express

          Edit and Continue is only allowed with the casini web server which to be honest is really lacking. We try to develop in IIS and without this feature our productivity is lacking due to the recompiles which can take over several minutes due to the large solution we work with.

          • Differntiate between Unauthenticated access and Unauthorized access

            In the ASP.NET security model, the documentation goes out of its way to talk about the difference between Authorization and Authentication.

            Unfortunately, the framework itself makes no such distinction. It treats an unauthenticated user access the same as a user who does not have authorization and returns the same error.

            I realize this is probably a result of the fact that most web servers treat file access errors as 403's, because HTTP doesn't really give you any other status code, and you want to differentiate between server oriented 403's and framework generated 403's, but there must be a better way…

                      • Allow edit of LocalResources files without recompile

                        Would it be possible to edit values within App_LocalResources folders without triggering a recompile/recycle? I know GlobalResources can be strongly typed and need compiling, but LocalResources (text value translations for different cultures) surely don't?

                        • Allow aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys to be read programmatically

                          The value in web.config appSettings.MaxHttpCollectionKeys should be able to be read programmatically at page-level. This would allow developers to dynamically check and provide friendly errors without users seeing the InvalidOperationException on large forms (e.g. large gridviews containing lots of controls, which happens a LOT for our large customers).

                              I understand it was renamed, but dropping SSL support means that websites using the old name will suddenly fail.

                                • Make the System.Web.UI.INonBindingContainer interface public

                                  I need to implement the INonBindingContainer interface on my custom controls for the same reason that standard controls do (so that data binding expressions work properly on naming containers that aren't binding containers), but this currently isn't possible because the interface is currently marked internal.

                                  • Extensibility of the "Publish..." wizard in Visual Studio

                                    It would be great when we could add additional configuration panels (like the Entity Framework Code First Migration features) to the Publish Wizard. This would allow us to add additional steps that can then be configured per target environment.

                                      the phrase "we always chose the way" should be "we always choose the way". (Full sentence
                                      "And whenever we show something, for this tutorial set we always chose the way that we think is easiest to understand."

                                        the phrase "in he preceding" should be "in the preceding"
                                        The full sentence is
                                        "That's what the scaffolding mechanism did in he preceding example."

                                          there's a spelling mistake, in the line
                                          "In the example above, the DataType.Date attribute displays the movie dates as dates only, with out time."
                                          the two words "with out" should be one - "without".
