After updating to the 21st of June update for Visual studio 2017, I'm no longer able to build my project.
I'm getting a BadImageException, the signature is incorrect on Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.
I've tried to clean solution, reboot computer, repair visual studio 2017 (and resharper) (in that order).
I can build in release but I can not build in debug. Obviously, this is a problem for me.
How can I undo the latest visual studio 2017 update? In visual studio 2015 you used to be able to simply undo the updates but in visual studio 2017 this seems to be obscured.
A bit of a dead question but I resolved this by simply uninstalling the entire installation and reinstalling it (including the update) and that resolved it for me.

I recently created a new SSIS project from within VS2015. I added a script task and when I click on the "Edit Script" button. Visual Studio opens; however, there's no solution
I'm running VS as administrator. I've tried re-installing Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2015. With no luck. I did once get the solution to pull up after I re-installed Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2015; however, the next time I clicked "Edit Script" there was nothing.
Is this a bug withing VSTA or has anyone else came across this issue?
"Edit Script" buttion from within the Script Component:
No solution when clicking "Edit Script":
Ok, for me this problem was due to Resharper - if I go under Tools | Options | Resharper and Suspend Now it allows the VSTA editor to display each time. Hope this helps
I've solved the exact same problem today. In my case it was most likely caused by installing and removing several versions of VS/SSDT without some proper clean-up.
Go to Control Panel -> Uninstall or change a program -> "Microsft SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2015" -> Change -> Repair.
Repeat the steps for "Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2015".
This should only fix your installation and not affect any of your projects.
After restarting my Windows the problem was fixed!
I have VS 2013 (with VSTA 2012) and VS 2015 (with VSTA 2015). I had the same problem: If I tried to edit a Script Task (both in VS 2013 SSIS or VS 2015 SSIS project), the VS 2015 shell opened, but was empty.
I tried the solution described by Rae: Uninstalling "Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2015" and subsequently repairing "Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012". This solution worked for VS 2013, after that, all scripts are opened in VS 2012. But after that, in VS 2015 SSIS Projects, I could no longer edit Script Tasks. (Error message "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications, Version=14.0.0.0,...")
The solution was:
- Repair "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Visual Studio 2015" (which re-installed VSTA 2015). After that I had the same problems like at the beginning, VS 2015 Shell opened empty, without source code file.
- Install VS 2015 Update 3 (like recommended by Rob Nicholson). This was the fix...
After that, I can edit Script Tasks both in VS 2013 SSIS and VS 2015 SSIS projects, both open the VS 2015 shell.
I was experiencing this issue with an SSIS 2012 project.
Uninstalling "Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2015" and subsequently repairing "Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012" got it for me.
My SSIS project in VS2012 would try opening scripts in a VS2015 instance. After uninstalling VSTA 2015, VS2012 now successfully opens the scripts in a VS2012 instance.
For reference, I have both Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2015 installed. I also have SQL Server Data Tools v11.1 and v14.0 installed.
I'm guessing this issue comes down to clashing versions of Visual Studio Tools for Applications.
I tried many of the proposed solution but could not get this working. After I updated SQL Data Tools to 14.0.61707.300 (the highest version of available for Visual Studio 2015 available) and applied Visual Studio Update 3 (14.0.25420.01) the code inside the Script Task / VstaProjects now populates correctly. As a side note my SQL/SSIS version is 2016 and Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2015 is at 14.0.23829. Hope this helps
I've encounted the same problem as well.
Since no solution to repair VisualStudio until now, I began to do the job by writting my own code directly in the DTSX file.
If your logic business was not very complex, this solution maybe suitable:
Firstly, add a "Scritp Task" in your package of SSIS project. It will generate lots of code in the DTSX file, and save our work.
Open DTSX file of the package in Notepad++/SublimeText, as your wish, and look for "// TODO: Add your code here", which was in a public void Main().
Fun Coding!
I've uploaded a project of TestScriptTask, in case of making coding easier in visual studio. It needs SQL Server Developer edition installed at least (Express edition probably would not work, didn't test).
Restart VS 2015, then it will load the next time you try.
Every time it fails, restart VS.
Yes simple/tedious... but works. Just write everything correctly the first/1 time you edit the script ;) easy
I came across this issue and it was driving me crazy. GIT is definitely what is causing this. When you take the solution out of the source control directory, the problem disappears.
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
Visual studio 2012 hangs frequently. Every time I am trying to close it through TaskManager and when opening the solution, visual studio will stay for 1 to 2 mins then hangs.
Restarted my system.
Restarted Visual studio 10 times.
Closing all the files in Visual studio when restarting the solution.
My observation : This is happening after installing Json.net through nugetpackagemanager and adding reference to Newtonsoft.JSon .
Any solution for this?
Download VS 2013, its awesome with GITHUB Integration and Many productive tools.
I've just uninstalled visual studio 2010, 2012 and 2013 of my computer in order to install them later. Now I just want to clean the registers related to them but don't know if I there are some that I have not to delete.
How can I proceed exactly?!
Any suggestions plz?
I just installed the ADO.NET connector from here http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/
Yet MySQL doesn't appear as a data source like it should. I tried restarting Visual Studio. It doesn't fix my issue. Did I install the wrong connector?
EDIT: STill nothing. I'm using Visual Studio Express For Desktop. Do I need to pay for the Ultimate edition to use a MySQL Data Source?
I was having the same problem just now. I solved it by uninstalling the latest Connector/NET drivers (6.7.4) and then installed the older drivers (6.6.5) and it works.
I am using Visual Studio 2010. I uninstalled the latest ones because I figured they were somehow related to .NET4.5, which I'm not able to use.
Update #1:
Supposedly another way is to register the MySql Connector with various Visual Studio versions (2010/2012/2013/2015...) during installation: Go to Modify Product Features and select all the relevant Visual Studio versions.
Update #2 - Visual Studio 2019 Update:
When I installed MySQL Community with the ConnectorNET and VisualStudio Plugin options included - MySQL didn't show up as a data provider in Visual Studio.
The installer I used included the VS Plugin version 1.2.9, which had supposedly fixed installation issues from 1.2.8, but still didn't work for me...
The solution for me was to uninstall the Connector and the Visual Studio Plugin, download them as individual components, and then install them separately (not as part of the MySQLServer Installer). Install the Connector first, then VS plugin after.
Connector Download
VS Plugin Download
I found the solution here, Thanks to #LambertHeenan.
NOTE about Visual Studio Express
The OP asks whether MySQL is supported with Visual Studio Express (which as far as I can tell has been renamed to Visual Studio Community). In the past MySQL officially didn't support Visual Studio Express, as per #Paul's answer below, but they do officially support Visual Studio Community 2017 and 2019, according to this page.
Stuzor and hexcodes solution worked for me as well. However, if you do want the latest connector you have to download another product. From the oracle website:
Starting with version 6.7, Connector/Net will no longer include the MySQL for Visual Studio integration. That functionality is now available in a separate product called MySQL for Visual Studio available using the MySQL Installer for Windows (see http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-installer-for-windows.html).
I found this on the MySQL support page for the Visual Studio connectors.
It appears that they do not support the MySQL to Visual Studio EXPRESS editions.
So to answer your question, yes you may need the ultimate version or professional edition - just not Express to be able to use MySQL with VS.

Tried everything but on Visual Studio 2015 Community edition I got it working when I installed MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.4+ from
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/
At time of writing I could download 1.2.6 which worked for me.
Release notes of 1.2.4 which adds support for VS2015 can be found at http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?3,633391
The Connector 6.7.x does not integrate the native data provider anymore. For "Visual Studio 2012" or less, you have to install "MySQL for Visual Studio".
If you are using "Visual Studio 2013" there is no possibility to integrate MySQL for the "Entity Framework" yet.
A solution should be available on 10/2013!
Just struggled with Visutal Studio 2017 Community Edition - none of above options worked for me.
In my case what i had to do was:
Run MySQL Installer and install/upgrade: Connector/NET and MySQL for Visual Studio to current versions (8.0.17 and 1.2.8 at the time)
Run Visual Studio Installer > Visual Studio Community 2017 > Modify > Individual components > add .NET Framework Targeting Packs for 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1 and 4.7.2
Reopen project and change project target platform to 4.7.2
Remove all MySQL-related nuGET packages and references
Install following nuGET packages: EntityFramework, MySql.Data.Entity, Mysql.Data.Entities
Upgrade following nuGET packages: MySql.Data, BouncyCastle nad Google.Protobuf (for some reason there is an update available just after install)
Uninstall later version and install mysql-connector 6.3.9 for visual studio 2010.
After installing add the dll files and restart the visual studio.
It works fine.
i install mysql for visual studio and the problem simply solved.although version of my visual studio is 2012!
I tried to install to VS 2015 using the Web installer. It seemed to work, but there was still no MySQL entry for Data Connections. I ended up going to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/, using it to uninstall then re-install the connector. Not it works as expected.
I have faced the same problem and i have installed mysql-connector-net-8.0.11. But in visual studio is not showing the db connector for mysql. Then I was installed the mysql-for-visualstudio-1.2.8 and run the visual studio. Its working fine.
Thank you!
