        • ApiExplorer support for AsyncEntitySetController & EntitySetController

          Please enhance the ApiExplorer to fully support the AsyncEntitySetController & EntitySetController. It is possible to generated some help documentation by using ApiExplorerSetting( IgnoreApi=false) attribute, but the help pages contain the incorrect relative path / route, the Queryable Gets are ignored, and the request/response samples are missing.

          Optionally, exposing some of the internal class such as HttpRouteParser, HttpParsedRoute, etc… would allow for custom ApiExplorers (like ODataApiExplorer).

          • 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.

            • Provide Razor syntax highlight when added as link

              When I add Razor file as link syntax highlighting and intelisense doesn't work. It should work like in others files (CS, JS, CSS).

                • Provide more fluent way to join to tables when not using primary keys

                  we have hit a problem when we want to join 2 tables together. Eg: parent-child typical scenario.

                  tblOrder
                  -------------
                  int ID (Primary Key)
                  datetime OrderDate
                  string username

                  tblOrderItems
                  ------------------------
                  int ID (pk)
                  int ProductID
                  string username

                  now - admittedly, this structure is wrong (the child). however in many real world scenarios when introducing EF to existing databases, we have to roll with existing structures and data with very little chance to change them at the present moment in time.

                  Now - in EF5 pre-release - i simply have been unable to create a configuration mapping that links :

                  tblOrder.username -->…

                    Allow direct build of virtual apps (app-v?) with auto-deploy to a virtualisation environment. (either that or direct creation of VM images or VHD files).

                      Today we do support what you are asking for but only for Windows Azure. If you download the Windows Azure tools when you publish we create a virtual machine and upload it to the Azure cloud. Not sure at this time if we will go beyond supporting this for Azure at this time.

                          • Fix XslCompiledTransform to work better in partial trust environments

                            XslCompiledTransform doesn't fully function in partial trust environments because if the TrustedXslt enum is used at construction, and the file contains <msxml:script> blocks, then the script is compiled dynamically to the process identity's Temp directory (C:\Users\<app pool identity>\Local\Temp on most machines).
                            As it's compiled code, why not put it in the standard .NET Temporary Files directory, thus allowing it to function perfectly well in partial trust environments?

                              • I am working on a LightSwitch application with a database connection to an Oracle database. In the table I am working on, the primarykey is

                                I am working on a LightSwitch application with a database connection to an Oracle database in Visual Studio 12.

                                In the table I am working on, the primarykey is set by a trigger in the database.

                                I struggled with StoreGeneratedPattern="Identity"but I got it working.

                                But: when I hit the button rebuild application my changes in the SSDL file were overwritten/lost.

                                Is it possible to add a selectbox in the propertyfield that automaticaly adds the desired value to the entity property:

                                <Property Name="ROW_ID" Type="number" StoreGeneratedPattern="Identity" Nullable="false" Precision="10" />

                                This would make life much easier ;-)

                                    • Add a path or pattern to localize javascript; en-us, en-gb, etc...

                                      Good or bad, there are times that I have JavaScript that does something to the effect: alert("Invalid Form Fields"). Bad example I know..but I have text scattered throughout my JavaScript files.

                                      Where should these be abstracted to? Is there a reall cool pattern or method I don't know about? Resource files that gets rendered as some JavaScript object that contains all strings?
