I make integration service project using data tools Visual Studio . I have encountered with a problem. There are no toolbox elements on the menu in data tool Visual Studio. I want to return it back in order to make my project . I have reset default settings but it didn't help . Also I have the feeling that my project opens in the Visual Studio environment instead of SQl server data tools . I upload screenshot as well
This can be confusing as sometimes you will see the normal toolbox that appear empty as you are not working on a UI such as windows forms. There is a menu item SSIS, under that is SSIS toolbox.

How can I add LINQ to SQL class (.dbml file) to Visual Studio 2017 RC. I can't find it. Please help, thanks.
You need to opt in to enable the designer during installation, it is not enabled by default: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/4616/linq-to-sql-dbml-designer-in-not-working.html
"Editing .dbml files with a designer surface requires the LINQ to SQL tools which are not installed by default as part of any of the workloads of Visual Studio 2017. It can be installed by selecting the 'LINQ to SQL tools' item under the 'Code Tools' category in the 'Individual Components' tab of the Visual Studio installer."
By default VS 2017 installer doesn't provide LINQ to SQL tools while installing we have to select that and modify.
Follow easy steps from here:
Open VS2017 installer.
Go to Individual Components.
Select he LINQ To SQL tools from code tools.
and just modify.
or check this screenshot you will get the idea.
Steps:
Open VS 2017
Go to Tools -> Get Tools and Features
Click on Individual Components tab
Scroll down, you will find "Linq to Sql tools" under Code tools category
Check and click on Modify. It will install the component, its around 6 mb
SuperUser.com also contains a nice answer
Basically you need to modify your VS2017 installation and add the standalone Linq-to-Sql component.
Open Vs 2017 installer, go to individual components and check LINQToSQL component then click modify button.
If, you use the DotNetCore. Linq to SQL doesn't show the option. To use Linq to SQL, you need to select DotNetFrameWork then you'll have an option to select Linq to SQL. It worked for me.
Recently i am trying to developing n-tier asp.net mvc application using Entity Framework with MySQL as the backend database. I wanted to use latest EntityFramework ie 6.9.9.0 version, so i downloaded sqlconnector package through "Nuget package Installer". These are the libraries that it installed for me:
mysql.data.dll(ver. 6.9.9.0)
mysql.data.entity.EF6(ver 6.9.9.0)
But i could not successfully create .edmx file for my project. During the final steps of creation of .edmx , it ends in the error. Here are the steps I applied:
1) first I selected '.net framework database provider' for mysql as in screenshot
2)Then I clicked 'next' button as in the screenshot
3)Finally i selected the tables for the database that i want to import in the entity data model before i click 'finish'
4) Click on "finish" button pops up "null object reference" error.
closing the error dialog displays the "add entity model" dialog again
The process creates a blank .edmx file with not a single DB tables on it.Also I find no errors in visual studio error list at the bottom of the window.
Could anyone share insight on what could be the possible issues here, i am really stuck at the first step of code my application and has already spent almost whole day searching for solution over the internet. I personally tried many alternatives seeking for solution too, but no luck so far. Anyone's help would be truly appreciated.
Thank you.
I somehow sensed that I am not using the right version of
EF tools for Visual Studio 2013
with corresponding version of MYSQL server installation and mysqlconnector for .net. So i downloaded and compared several versions of EF tools, MYSQL installer and MYSQL(Nuget package) for entity framework and finally found the right combination as follows:
Entity Framework 6.1.3 tools for Visual Studio 2013
MYSQL-installer-community-5.6.32.0.msi (you can find archived mysql
version in google)
MYSQL(Nuget package) for entity framework like in the screen shot below:
As it worked for me , i think mysql.data dll version and mysqlconnector for net that comes with MYSQL installer should match , i have them highlighted here in picture:
After the proper installation ,i finally got EDMX diagram loaded fully and correctly upon creating one.
P.S: after every un-installation of MYSQL server version that did not work for me, I used the useful tool (Advanced_Uninstaller11.exe) to clean all left out registry entries and here is the download link for the tool

I Hope that I have explained it clearly of the problem and its resolution. I could not make any of the above points or scenario clear, hope you would comment on it and i would try to explain more and better.
And Thank you #ErikEJ for your continued support on the problem.
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.
HI I am unable to see the rows flowing in the Dataflow while running from visual studio in VS2013 not sure how to enable it.
I tried looking in tools options but didn't find any clue.
Thanks
Hi After a awful lot of time found out that Microsoft have buggered up once again as the annotation colour is white and will not be able to change it to any colour in the Dark Theme.
Found out from below link
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/910798/ssis-annotations-in-ssdt-2013-invisible-in-dark-color-theme
In the data flow task, right click on the connector between the two components and click Enable Data Viewer
When you next run the package a window will appear which shows the data being transfered between the components
I think that this is a relatively simple question. I just want to know if you are able to save or use SQL snippets like you can in Visual Studio, but within SQL Server Management Studio? I've had a browse but couldn't find anything.
Dragging a Template item into the current query is handy (You can create your own & "file" them in their own hierarchy), and the SMSS Tools Pack addin provides a Snippet function.
