How do I connect Visual studio 2013 to TFS 2018 server - visual-studio-2013

How do I connect Visual studio 2013 to TFS 2018 server?
I have tried installing an old dap for vs 2010, without much luck.
My server is TFS 2018 u2, desktop has VS 2013 and VS 2015. I can connect with VS 2015, but not with VS 2013.
What do I need to install to get this to work?

You may need to install (or repair) your VS 2013/Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 in the following order:
Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 (requires MSDN subscription)
Visual Studio 2013 update 5 (requires MSDN subscription)
More information please refer to Connect any version of Visual Studio to Visual Studio Team Services or Team Foundation Server.

SQL Server Integration Services Projects not available in Visual Studio Extensions

I am trying to install SQL Server Integration Services Projects in Visual Studio. I am doing the following:
Apparently it is not available in Visual Studio 2022, but I found it in Visual Studio 2019.
Visual Studio 2022 is not supported:
For Visual Studio 2017, I had to go to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/previous-releases-of-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt-and-ssdt-bi?view=sql-server-ver16 and download it from the link below:
SSDT for VS 2017 (standalone installer)
Download SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.10)
Then I just installed it:

'tfpt' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I am using Visual Studio Professional 2019, and I am not able to see the tfpt.exe. I tried to install Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2015 Power Tools, but no luck.
Any guess?
First please check if Visual Studio Team Explorer 2019 is installed. It's a prerequisite for most of the power tools components. Here is a reference.
Go to All downloads > Visual Studio 2019 > Visual Studio Team
Explorer 2019 > Download
In addition, Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2015 Power Tools could not be applicable to visual studio 2019. Please refer to this case.

VS 2010 Can't connect projects in AzureDevops server 2019

VS 2010 connects to DevOps 2019 inhouse server, it lists all the projects properly but when you try to connect to a project it gets the latest and goes offline. This is only happening in VS 2010. VS 2015, 2017 and 2019 works perfectly.
Those who are facing the above issue when connecting from Visual Studio 2010 with Devops server 2019, please install the following.
Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2010
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Team Foundation Server Compatibility GDR
After installing and restarting the machine, Above issue will resolve.

BizTalk and Visual Studio 2017

Can Visual Studio 2017 be used for BizTalk project work?
I seemed to get issues when I open a solution file that relates to BizTalk using Visual Studio 2017.
i.e. Errors re. the .btproj files.
Error is "the application which this project type is based on was not found."
Please try this link for further information: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=299083&projecttype=EF7E3281-CD33-11D4-8326-00C04FA0CE8D
This link doesn't seem to specifically mention Visual Studio 2017 be used for BizTalk project work.
Each version of BizTalk requires a specific version of Visual Studio. Currently the latest version is BizTalk 2016, which requires Visual Studio 2015 see Hardware and Software Requirements for BizTalk Server 2016
When BizTalk 2020 comes out it will be Visual Studio 2019. So no, you can't use Visual Studio 2017 for BizTalk development
Note: You will have needed to run the BizTalk Setup and installed the Developer SDK after you have installed the correct Visual Studio.
BizTalk 2020 projects require Visual Studio 2019
BizTalk 2016 projects require Visual Studio 2015
BizTalk 2013 R2 projects require Visual Studio 2013
BizTalk 2013 projects require Visual Studio 2012
BizTalk 2010 projects require Visual Studio 2010
With Visual Studio 2019 you also have to install an extension, see Biztalk 2020 - Project not showing in Visual Studio 2019

BizTalk solution created in VS 2013 not opening in VS 2015

We have created a BizTalk Solution in VS 2013 Premium version. Now we have upgraded the Visual Studio version to VS 2015 Enterprise version. But when opening in VS 2015 it says BizTalk Project is incompatible. I went through this MSDN article. But its says
BizTalk server projects are not compatible with Visual Studio 2015 or
Visual Studio 2013.
We used BizTalk Server 2013 R2 for developing the BizTalk Solution. Do I need to reinstall BizTalk for solving this issue?
Each version of BizTalk is very specific about which version of Visual Studio it needs. See Visual Studio versions needed by each release of BizTalk
For BizTalk 2013 R2 you need Visual Studio 2013. You cannot use Visual Studio 2015 for BizTalk 2013 R2.
You can use Visual Studio 2015 for BizTalk 2016 which at this time is in community technology preview 2, GA later this year
Try to change MSI property when you using visual studio 2015.
Will/Does Visual Studio 2013 support BizTalk 2013 projects?
That's might be solved your issue.
