visual studio 2019 open solution file incompatible - visual-studio

I think I was using visual studio 2017 and wrote a SSIS package. Now I installed visual studio 2019 and can't open the solution file. Error:
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. For more information
on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets,

Non-functional changes required Visual Studio will automatically make
non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable
them to open in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio
2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be
impacted.
- ABC_SSIS, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC_SSIS.sln"
I tried "Right-click on the project and reload" - didn't work.
I tried to confirm SSDT is installed:
it is installed at the installation interface, but doesn't exist in extension manager:

SSIS is a seperate extension now in Visual Studio 2019. You can install that extension in Visual Studio market place. Choose Online tab and search for "SQL Server Integration Services Projects".Hope it can help your problem

1.Extensions -> Microsoft Reporting Service Project
2.and then close visual studio
3.VSIX installer will complete automatically
4.If your project unloaded, right click on project and reload

Today I faced this issue,
Cause
The reason for issue is,
I saw a yellow bg notification at the top of IDE showing performance issue , with option to "disable this" to improve the performance.
I chose disable, later next day when I opened the project, It showed the project is not compatible.
I did Repair SSIS, Uninstall and Reinstall SSIS, and also updated the SSIS to latest version. None of these 3 ways resolved the issue.
Solution
But, I found Manage Extension submenu item under Extension menu, Under installed tab, SSIS extension was in disabled status. I reverted to Enabled status. Sample screenshot of the same for reference is here. If it disabled, simply enable it. Then restart VS with SSIS project.

Enabling the SSIS in manage extensions solved this for me.

Extensions ... Manage Extensions
Online ... Visual Studio Marketplace
SQL Server Integration Services Projects
Download
Close Visual Studio and then run the download
When finished, open your existing SSIS project and right-click the project and select "Reload" or "Reload with dependancies"
You can also now start a new Integration Services project.

SSIS and Visual Sudio 2019 Cannot Load Project

First of all, this issue has nothing to do with the installation of SSDT. I have the lastest version installed, at the time of writting this.
My issue is that the SSIS package was written some time ago using, I think either VS2005 or VS2008 as I was using Windows 7 with the lastest SSDT package fro the time, and I now need to open it up to view the workings.
I am now using VS2019 on Windows 10, again with the latest SSDT package, and studio refuses to open the project.

I have found the answer and it had nothing to do with the SSDT installed.
After finding this article.
visual-studio-2019-open-solution-file-incompatible
It explains the need to make sure that the SSIS Extension is enables. In my case it needed to be installed.
This occurred because I had installed various versions of SSDT which caused Visual Studio to need me to reinstall.

Incompatible project type .deployproj (Visual Studio 2019)

I have a solution that contains a .deployproj type of project. It seems that Visual Studio 2019 is not able to load that project. The detailed error message is the following:
Unsupported

What can I do in order to load the project within Visual Studio 2019?
It seems that you need to install the Azure Development workload in order for Visual Studio to be able to load .deployproj projects.
So just modify the current installation to also contain this workload. (I don't know exactly what individual component needs to be installed for this to work, I just installed the entire Azure Development workload).

Why is my SSIS toolbox empty in Visual Studio 2019 community?

I installed Visual Studio 2019 Community and then installed data tools. I can open an Integration Services project but when I look at the SSIS Tooolbox, it's empty.
How do I fix this?
I am using visual studio 2017, To get the SSIS toolbox back, right-click on the SSIS design surface in the project and select SSIS Toolbox please see this link. This resolved it for me.
Adding the content below again, in case the webpage is not available in future.
I have installed the Data-Tier Application Framework and SQL Server
Data Tools for VS 2017 . I created a solution then returned to it a
week later and the SSIS toolbox had disappeared.
I opened the toolbox window using View -> Toolbox but it was empty.
To get the SSIS toolbox back, right-click on the SSIS design surface
in the project and select SSIS Toolbox – hey presto! it reappears.
This is a problem after Visual Studio does an update for Optimization.
I have confirmed that the fix is:
Open menu item:
- Tools
- Options
- Environment - On the General Tab - DISABLE/uncheck - "Optimize rendering for screens with different pixel densities"
This solved my problem.

A Picture is worth of thousand words
I think you should download and install the Integration Services Projects extension:
SQL Server Integration Services Projects
Since in Visual Studio 2019, for Analysis Services, Integration Services or Reporting Services projects, you have to install the appropriate extension(s) from the marketplace.
You can refer to the following official documentation for additional information:
Download and install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio
I had a project from 2017 and the toolbar would not open when I opened the project. I had to create a new empty project. Then go back and open the 2017 project. Then the toolbar appeared.
For me, enabling SSIS toolbox did the trick initially it did not show up in VS 2019 community

My two cents worth, I had the same issue-
In the toolbox window, right-click and select SHOW ALL.
Then right-click again, and turn off the SHOW ALL. Voilah...!

Web Developer Tools option must be installed

I have been working with Visual Studio Ultimate 2013. Today when I tried to open a solution, it tried to convert the solution and showed me error like
"The Web Developer Tools option must be installed prior to opening or creating Web projects. You can install this option by repairing your Microsoft Visual Studio installation and ensuring that 'Web Developer Tools' is checked in the list of optional components."
I goggled about this and tried to Modify the Visual Studio 2013 ultimate by enabling the Web Developer Tool. But here I am getting the other error like
Unable to Locate Package Source.
What should I do now?
Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Select your Visual Studio Version and hit "Change"
Click MODIFY and enable Web Developer Tools
Enable Web Developer Tools
Click Update
Perhaps the installer file for Visual Studio was deleted and is no longer available to modify installations. If you can't locate it, you could just re-install Visual Studio, but that takes awhile.

VS 2013 Express for Desktop wont open vcxproj project files

I am trying to open the Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Samples with VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop. To my surprise it claims that the individuals projects in the solution each cannot be opened because their project types (.vcxproj) are not supported by this version of the application.
Does anyone know why the vcxproj files cannot be opened, or how I could diagnose and repair the root cause of the problem?
Edit: I can also not open the vcxproj files in Mike Farnsworth's Rayito project.
It means that the projects were created in another version of Visual Studio.
Try to upgrade the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting Upgrade Solution.
Alternatively you could use Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition to see if that resolves the problem.
Windows Dev Center indicates that Visual Studio 2012 is required.
Hope this helps
Neither of the other answers seemed to help.
I uninstalled visual studio. I uninstalled SQL server. I reinstalled visual studio. Now it loads C++ projects correctly.
I understand a previous install of visual studio can cause the problem I was having. Apparently so can installing SQL server Express prior to installing Visual Studio 2013 Express.
