Visual Studio 2015 is now supported as well for dotConnect. The setup file SetupODTforVS2015.exe was released in Oct 2015 (download here). I'm using oracle version 8.4 and Visual Studio 2015 and would like to get Oracle Developer Tools. The installation didn't show any errors, but afterwards no change visible - still not working. Has someone experience with ODT for VS 2015 or does anyone know if oracle 8.4 is incompatible? Thx in advance.
I found the answer in the devart forum:
With Visual Studio 2015 you need to use dotConnect for Oracle 8.4.422
or higher or to compile license resources manually.
I was using minor Version 8.4.225.0.
Seems as if there's no way around compiling licences manually or upgrading dotConnect.

I have inherited a legacy .NET project that used dotConnect for Oracle. When I started on this project I downloaded the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 Pro that was available from Microsoft. When I configured my development environment, I installed dotConnect version 8.4 which is what the other members on my team are using. My company has not upgraded. dotConnect 8.4 does not seem to integrate with the latest version of Visual Studio 2017. My colleagues are using Visual Studio 2017 version 15.9.4 with dotConnect 8.4. When I install dotConnect 8.4 with the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 Pro from the Microsoft site, it does not give me the "Oracle" option in the tools menu of Visual Studio 2017 Pro and the existing solution from our repository fails to Build with dotConnect being the first build error. I have checked with the Devart support and they tell me that Visual Studio 2017 is not supported in dotConnect for Oracle 8.4 and I would need to upgrade to Version 9. I did install the trial version of the latest version of dotConnect version 9 or higher and I did see the "Oracle" option in the tools, but my solution did not build with it. My colleagues and bosses have no idea why 8.4 works in their environments. I am in the process of trying to get a copy of Visual Studio Pro 2017 Pro version 15.9.4 to see if dotConnect for Oracle 8.4 installs, but that is going to take time if I can even get it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to force Oracle 8.4 to work with the latest Visual Studio 2017? Am I missing something? I am just not sure if our how I can convince my boss and team to move the latest dotConnect for Oracle when the rest of the team running fine with dotConnect version 8.4. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I have visual studio 2010 installed and working on my computer.
recently I have updated sql express 2008 to sql 2012. after visual studio prompted
"this server version is not supported. only servers up to Microsoft SQL
server 2008 are suported"
I have installed sql server data tools (from here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/jj650014) to solve this problem, however unfortunately it keeps showing the message.
What am I doing wrong? How do I solve this?
Your best bet will be to install the latest version of SSDT from Microsoft. VS DB Projects stopped support with SQL 2008. SSDT for SQL 2010 stopped support w/ SQL 2012, I think. You don't need a license for the VS shell, though you might need to sign up w/ the MS developer program.
Go here for the SSDT blog: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ssdt/ You should see the most recent post or two pointing to the current release. This should support 2012+ without any issues. It will install the VS IDE if you don't have it installed.
FYI, the version you pointed to should work with SQL 2012, but you'd be better off using the latest version that is currently under active development. Ideally, the dacpac should be able to be used regardless of which version of SSDT you're using.
It might be worth checking to see what you're turning in. If you can turn in a script, it won't matter what version of SSDT you use. If you need to turn in the dacpac, you might have to double-check your install for SQL Express and SSDT to be sure they are the proper versions.
Which order should these be installed in? I have read in this SO post that VS2013 requires an update to work with SQL Server 2014.
It doesn't matter. The two products do not conflict and side-by-side installation is supported in any order.
After installing VS you'll need to then install the latest SSDT version for SQL Server 2014 support. SSDT is s component of Visual Studio, not SQL Server.
I just installed Visual Studio Community 2015 on my computer and tried to install ODTwithODAC121021 (32bit). Well, the Oracle universal installer tells me it cannot proceed because I have to install Visual Studio first. Can someone tell me how I can persuade the installer that I do indeed have Visual Studio? I'm running everything on Windows Server 2008 R2 in case that helps and I did not install an Oracle client, since I assume that it is included with the ODAC tools. Thank you very much in advance.
The current version of ODT doesn't support Visual Studio 2015.
They will support it after 1 month of VS 2015 RTM
It's now supported, as of 05 October :)

In my early Linux days things were easy: I just could install the newest gcc-compiler and everything was fine. In contrast, Visual Studio confuses me a bit with it's various download options, whereas all I want is the newest C++ compiler in order to apply C++11 and C++14 features -- and that preferably without having to download gigabites of data. Can somebody help me with this issue?
Currently I use the free version of VS 2013 with the November 2013 CTP compiler.
How new does the compiler get when staying in VS 2013 (until the official VS 2015 comes out)?
Are there some "good practices" for switching to VS 2015 CTP? Is there also a free version (I only recognized the Ultimate version so far)? When I install this VS 2015 CTP, do I have to download the whole official stuff again once it is released, or can I update?
The VS 2015 CTP is under a preview license, so there's currently only the single edition out. When it is released, all the various editions for it will be created.
You should look into the new Community edition (currently VS 2013 Community) which is more full-featured than VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop.
