Generate the EDMX backing files in Visual Studio 2019 - edmx

After modifying an EDMX in Visual Studio 2019, it saves the EDMX properly but does not generate the C# files.
This is a database first functionality, is there a new trick in VS2019 to actually generate the C# files on save?

I was going to write a feedback to Microsoft but the same question is asked on their network. The issue was
VS 2019 Preview2-Preview 4.2 after saving EDMX code is not generated
It is marked as resolved for VS2019 16.1
https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework6/issues/705
It is also mentioned in the bug that you may run the custom tools manually on all the EDMX, and *.tt files to generate your templates. And this works.

How do I edit SSIS Script Tasks in Visual Studio 2019?

Using the SSIS Data Tools extension for Visual Studio, it is possible to carry out various operations in a straightforward manner. However VSTA and the Script Task are a major exception—specifically in VS 2019.
After editing an existing Script Task the script text will reset to the default value.
Creating a new Script Task (other than the default) is likewise impossible, as far as I can tell.
I have tried editing the base64 string in which the VSTA task is stored within my .dtsx files.
After that I tried manipulating the files and directory structure under the VSTA temp directory in order to persist changes in the scripting solutions/projects. I have also tried many other tactics, such as including the task implementation as an additional source file, as a binary reference, or via partial classes, a base class etc., within the Script Task.
But none of these approaches (even if they were to work) are necessarily maintainable or simple in the context of a team.
Is there any sustainable long-term alternative that allows Script Task development in VS 2019?
The SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension for Visual Studio 2019 has a fix.
Script Task creation and editing appears to be working as of version 3.2.1 of the extension.
This was apparently released some time in the past few weeks (as of date of writing, 26 November 2019).

Can't find the DTS pipeline component to reference in Visual Studio 2019

I haven't written any custom SSIS components in a few years and am having problems trying to do one currently. I have the following installed:
VS 2019, SQL Server 2017, SSDT.
I have created a project in VS and when I try to find the component containing the SSIS dts pipeline stuff, it is not in the list. I do see a plethora of other SSIS transforms, sources, and destinations type libraries though.
Any ides on what I am missing?

Is it possible to generate/import an SSRS instance into a Visual Studio Project?

I have objects created in the web portal or using Report Builder. I would like everything to be source controlled in a project so I created a new project and I don't see an import wizard. I was hoping it would function the same way Analysis Services does and import all the assets from the server.
So is there a way to do this? Let's assume I have a lot of reports and datasets that I don't want to download manually.
I'm also open to a programmatic approach using C# to pull the files and add them to the project manually.
.rdl files (basically just XML) can be added to a Visual Studio package and then managed by your chosen source control solution.
You can download the .rdl from SSRS.
I believe you have to manually create the connections and datasets.

Linq to Sql Classes missing from within a script task in visual studio 2013 in an SSIS package

I'm trying to migrate an existing Visual Studio C# project to run in a script task in an SSIS package.
The current C# console application uses "Linq to Sql Classes" to generate a dbml file and the necessary classes.
But when I go to edit the script task in the SSIS PACKAGE I'm not able to find the LINQ TO SQL CLASSES. I right click on the project and select "add -> new item" and look for the "Linq to Sql Classes" item to add the dbml file to my project but it's not there?
Confusing because if I do the exact same thing in Visual Studio 2013 in a console application, I'm able to add the "Linq to Sql Classes". Does anyone have any ideas? I realize I could use Entity Framework but that would take a considerable amount of time to re-write everything. Also I've thought about just executing the console application's compiled executable from within the SSIS package but our database team will not allow packages to run executables.
Also I'm targeting the .net framework 4.0 for both the Visual Studio 2013 console applications and from within the Visual Studio 2013 editor in the SSIS Package Script Task.
I stumbled across this question because I have(had) this exact same problem. We had an existed DataContext file which had been mapped to a database. I had updated the database which SSIS but my changes werent being reflected in the Script task. I created a seperate project and created a linq-to-sql file and connected it to the same database as my Script task. Then added all the existing tables and the new one too. which generated a new Datacontext file. I then copied the code back into the original Datacontext file within the script task.
Hope this helps you and future programmers

Visual Studio 2010 - Can't open O/R Designer

I just got Visual Studio 2010 and need to create a web application using LINQ to SQL. I started writing the web app but can't add a .DBML file to the solution. The option isn't there when I go to Add -> New Item.
Am I missing something from the installation CD? Did they change something from Visual Studio 2008? I haven't written in .NET for about a year, so I'm out of the loop.
Thanks very much for any help.
