I attached an image to show exactly what I mean.
Is there a way to make Visual Studio to display that dropdown menu with the different options for formating?
Thanks in Advance
Can Visual Studio Intellisense display options for formating values?
I am afraid that you cannot get what you want so far on VS.
Actually, VS Intellisense does not have such function and do not have different formatting options in the drop-down box just as your picture shows.
Also, I cannot find any VS extensions to implement this function.
So if you still want this feature on VS, I suggest you could suggest a feature on our User Voice Forum.
Besides, when you finish it, you could also share your idea ticket here and anyone who is interested in it will vote it so that it will get more Team's attention.

Sometimes when I open my Visual Studio form designer, I see the [Add] text to create a new BarButtonItem, other times I don't. This has led me to search for a way to create a new button several times now. Any idea what might be causing this?
Try to right click your bar manager, and check the Show DesignTime Enhancements.
Here is a link that may help.
I am using dynamic objects in a project, and I'd like to provide intellisense for the object. I understand that Visual Studio can't know what to show for intellisense, but if I can plug into the intellisense, I do know what entries should show up.
Is there a way to extend Visual Studio's intellisense? If so, any pointers?
Thanks!
You can use Editor Extension Points.
You can find specific information for extending Intellisense near the bottom of this page:
Editor Extension Points
From this page you can get information about ICompletionSource and ICompletionSourceProvider which are the two interfaces you must implement to provide autocompletion.
Visual Studio 2010 has UI for editing the buttons in the toolbars of the main window. Is it possible to do the same thing for the tool window toolbars?
Even if there is no UI, I am willing to alter files manually to get the expected result. Basically, the problem I am trying to solve is that some tool windows hide the buttons that I want to use and show buttons that I don't use. I would like to reorder them.
No.
Hmm that answer was not long enough.
It is not possible.
Does anyone know if it is possible at all to filter the Toolbox's items in Visual Studio using an add-in?
Visual Studio 2010 introduced the ability to search but I want to filter, for example: type in button and it must show all items containing "button", same as on this on this Delphi XE screenshot:
This is a very good answer for this question. I copied from the VS blog:
In VS 2010 Beta2, we’ve added the ability to search for controls in the toolbox by name. To use it, put focus in the toolbox (by clicking in it, for example) and start typing the name of the control you want to find. As you type, the selection will move to the next item that matches what you've typed so far.

This is something not possible as microsoft does not reveal the secret of adding toolbox controls details completely. They make change the process for each platform and for each versions of visual studio. if we have a clear details of how they add, we can also do the similar kind of small application with search capability and add it as add-in.
Luckily Visual Studio 2012 now has that feature!
Whenever I use CSS3 style commands (like Box-shadow, Box-Sizing, background gradient,etc ) in my Visual Studio 2010 projects and compiles it, VS shows one or more errors regarding CSS3 styles. How can I overcome this behavior of Visual Studio?
You can turn off CSS validation errors in Visual Studio from Tools menu. Select Tools > Options and perform the action shown in the following image.
Up the top there is drop down text box (next to comments in toolbar). Open that and see if you have HTML5/CSS3 in there. If not, you have to download it from MSDN.
I have a better answer for you than the currently accepted answer. It's actually just a small change to said answer and here it is. Just check the "as warnings" box. So it doesn't show up as an error (which is good because it ain't one), but it does show up in your pleasantly-ignorable warnings list still.
