I’m trying to make an SQL connection using server explorer, but I can’t seem to locate it on Visual Studio 2017 on Mac. I tried creating a New Solution as well and look for it under View, but it still does not pop up.
Where could it be located?
Thank you in advance and will be sure to accept/upvote answer!
Unfortunately, Server Explorer is not (yet) available for the Visual Studio for the Mac. Microsoft has not yet clarified whether Visual Studio for the Mac will always be different than the traditional VS, but so far that is the case.
Until Microsoft clarifies, we have to think of Visual Studio for the Mac as "partially compatible" with Visual Studio. Though not quite the same, it's similar to how Visual Studio Code is kept separate, though it keeps the valuable "Visual Studio" name.

I'm installing Visual studio 2022 (I tried with Community and Pro) in a Windows 11 (virtual machine on macOS - Parallels desktop) but i can't find Linq to SQL Tools under Individual components, Code Tools category. This option doesn´t appears in order to be checked.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thank you for your help!
I need to use Linq to SQL Tools to edit a bdml file in a asp.net proyect
For many versions I have a reporting services project in Visual Studio. The latest is Visual Studio 2013. I have installed Visual Studio 2017 community edition and it has the Microsoft Reporting Services Projects extension. It also says that it has Data Tools installed as part of VS (at least that's what it looks like). Yet my rptproj file will not be recognized by Visual studio 2017. Every document that I'm sent to says I need SqlServer Data Tools but is that now a separate program I have to use to deal with reports outside of Visual Studio? It makes no sense to me given that there is a reporting Services projects in VS. But that isn't working at all. I've tried creating a new project and copying the RDL over to it. It opens it and I can see designer but when I try to preview I get the dreeded " Unknown report version 9". Any help would be very very much appreciated.
Just download and install

SSDT will provide all the missing bits for VS2017. You will then be able to edit your reports in VS2017 but you will need to upgrade the solutions. You will be promoted to do this upgrade when you attempt to open the project/solution.
I am trying to convert some older VS2005 projects over to VS2015 Enterprise. When I open any with a report project (.rptproj), VS says the project is unsupported.
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
Every search I've done, the solution is to install SSDT (apparently formerly known as SSDT-BI)
I havs SSDT installed already.. when I download/install from here (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx), it gives me repair/uninstall options. I've tried repair even though I did not suspect it was broken. There are no updates available under Tools > Extensions and Updates... in VS.
Where do I go from here? Every solution I've found says the same thing, but I already have SSDT.
Any info appreciated.
Support for BI projects for Visual Studio 2015 is available here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/mt186501
There are two versions of SSDT available for Visual Studio 2015. Only the "Preview" version (available here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt429383.aspx) contains the BI project types.
SQL Server Data Tools in Visual Studio 2015 (a.k.a. SSDT)
Open Visual Studio 2015 and choose the Tools > Extensions and Updates menu. SQL Server tooling updates will appear in the Updates list.
Visual Studio 2015 comes with SSDT which is why you kept getting repair screens - note "SQL Server Data Tools Preview in Visual Studio 2015" is the older version
I have recently installed Visual Studio 2013 preview a long with the ASP.NET and Web Tools for Visual Studio 2013 update. I have also got ReSharper 8.0 installed with it.
Since installing it, and opening an Umbraco project which was created in Visual Studio 2012, all my razor syntax colouring has disappeared, and I am also unable to set breakpoints in the razor code. When I try and set a breakpoint I get this message:
"A breakpoint could not be inserted at this location"
I have searched all over the internet for similar issues, but I can't seem to find a definitive reason or solution. The only lead I have found is in the comments on Scott Gu's blog, on his post about MVC3 RC, and in the comments it says that ReSharper can sometimes interfere with Visual studio syntax colouring etc.
I have tried the suggestions (reverting back to VS intellisense/code hinting etc) but I still have no syntax colouring on razor, and I still cannot set breakpoints in razor either.
As I said previously, the project was created in Visual Studio 2012 with ReSharper 7.1 installed and all the VS updates installed, and these problems did not exist.
Has anyone had this issue before? For any version of VS?
Thanks.
Previously had issues with this as well (although syntax highlighting wasn't a problem, but debugging was).

VS 2013 Update 2 seems to have resolved it for me.
I have a .smdlproj report model file. When I try to open it in visual studio 2010 it throws an error saying the project type is unsupported. With some research it looks like the last version to support this format was visual studio 2008.
Does anyone know if theres anyway I can upgrade the project, or install anything on 2010 that would make it compatible? Thanks.
They don't open in anything later than visual studio 2008, simple as that apparently.
