Trying to connect my Visual Studio Team Services server in SQL Data Tools 2010, but getting the following error, i have correctly installed the Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 - ISO
Visual Studio online currently only works with VS2013 and above. It's not support for SSDT2010. You may need to use SSDT in VS2013 and try again.
SSDT is available in VS 2013, it's integrated into the box so we do
not have a stand alone install. If you install VS 2013, you will see
the Database Projects, SQL Server Object Explorer, and other tools
that were available in VS 2010 & VS 2012. I have verified that the
Database Projects in VS2013 will work with VS Online source control,
however if you are using the online build process, we are not built
into the online build support yet.

Is it possible to open a SSIS solution using Microsoft's free tools (Visual Studio Team Explorer and SQL Server Data Tools) or does it require a full installation of Visual Studio?
I am trying to do so with just the free tools and am getting an error saying that "this versino of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects" then another one saying the solution I have opened is under source control but not currently configured for integrated source control in visual studio.
We have other users who use the full version of Visual Studio 2017 and it works fine so I am wondering if this is just a limitation of the free products offered by Microsoft.
To edit SQL Server 2005 SSIS packages, you need Visual Studio 2005 and installation of Business Intelligence Designer Studio, BIDS. This required a license, developer edition was sufficient, to access the tooling.
SQL Server 2008 & SQL Server 2008 R2 would install into Visual Studio 2008. This too required a SQL Server license as the media only existed on the server media.
SQL Server 2012 would install into both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012. This was delivered in both physical media installations and downloadable tooling which was rebranded to SQL Server Data Tools- BI Edition, now just SQL Server Data Tools and the components were just licensed via click through agreement.
SQL Server 2014 installs into Visual Studio 2013 and was now only available through the download of SSDT.
SQL Server 2016 added a new twist into the mix. It installed into Visual Studio 2015 but it could now create/edit/target SQL Server 2012, 2014 and 2016 packages. This was huge as until this point, as a consultant I would have required 5 different versions of the "same" program on my machine. Now I'd only need 3.
SQL Server 2017 installs SSDT in both Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017.
I assume SQL Server 2019 will similarly target VS 2017 and VS 109.
Across all of these versions, if you didn't have Visual Studio installed, the installer would install the Visual Studio shell on your machine so that the project templates would work.
Last I knew, neither Visual Studio Community Edition nor VS Code will work with the SSDT templates so be sure and open the correct product to work with SSIS projects (.dtproj)
The warning/error about "under source control but not currently configured" smells like something is awry with how you have the TFS hook installed but I can't comment on that.
Download and install SSDT 2017 for Visual Studio
You can verify the status of your SSDT installation for Visual Studio by going to the Help, About Microsoft Visual Studio menu and looking for "SQL Server Integration Services." With ... 2017? you can now do a piecemeal install and only pick SQL Server Data Tools (database projects) or SSAS/SSIS/SSRS. Previously, the SSDT-BI install was trio of SS_S and SSDT (no BI) was the database projects.
Previous answer on where SSDT-BI is
You have at lease two options:
Use Visual Studio Community Edition together with SSDT. Still, you have to check its License terms with your Legal department - it might be not legal to use Community Edition in Enterprise.
Use Visual Studio Isolated Shell together with SSDT. More instructions on how to install it. As far as I know, it is legal to use it for debugging.
The VS Isolated Shell is usually installed with SQL Server 2014/16.
I have looked through a several forums and cannot find an answer to my specific question so don't hurt me if I have asked something that has been answered before. I have a SSRS report project that was created in Visual Studio 2005 (then upgraded to 2008) before my time at my company and i need to upgrade it to 2013 Visual studio. I know normally you just open the file and use the migration wizard, however i get an error because my Visual Studio 2013 does not recognize the .rptproj file and thus does not fully migrate the solution. I have a copy of VS Shell 2010 that was able to upgrade it to 2010 but this did not help me to migrate it to 2013. Is there a way i can migrate this over without having to buy more copies of VS to do a stair step migration?
You can first check if the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 module is installed on your computer.
I've downloaded a shell version of Visual Studio 2012/SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) which allows me to create Analysis Services Tabular Models but because it is a shell (integrated) version it only allows for a small amount of functionality.
I have a full professional edition of visual studio 2010 and have installed SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) but there is no business intelligence project templates available.
Will I need to purchase visual studio 2012 to get this full functionality or is there a way I can do it within the visual studio 2010 environment?
The SQL Server is 2012
Per MSDN:
You can install SQL Server Data Tools on Visual Studio 2010
Professional, Premium, or Ultimate Edition with Visual Studio 2010
SP1.
You can find the link to download Visual Studio 2010 SP1 on the MSDN page (I don't like linking directly to downloads on SO since people can edit the links.)
Also, according to this other MSDN site,
Projects and DACPACs are fully compatible across shells.
Please download the toolset for VS2012 ...
Again, a link to SSDT 2012 is on the site. You might want to uninstall your integrated shell version just to get a clean binding with your existing VS2010 install.
UPDATE
Please also read James Serra's blog about the BI templates for Visual STudio 2012 coming in a separate install from SSDT, which also includes a link to that install.
I have some requirements that I need to use Visual Studio 2008 for a new SSIS package. But we are using visualstudio.com as our source control because we were allowed to use Visual Studio 2012 for our main project.
I tried following the instructions here http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/get-started/connect-to-vs.aspx and here how to open Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2008 and no go.
Has anyone been able to connect to their TFS server at visualstudio.com from Visual Studio 2008? If so, how did you do it?
Officially VS 2008 is only supported against TFS 2013 (and Visual Studio Online) by using the MSSCCI. However, in practice it still works fine without MSSCCI, MS just no longer tests this particular scenario, so it's not guaranteed to continue working.
Make sure you have the appropriate updates installed, you need:
VSTS 2008 Team Explorer
VS 2008 SP1
TFS 2012 Compatibility GDR
Order of installation is very important. Refer to this article.
Moreover, if you are still having issues connecting to TFS after successfully installing above mentioned updates, consider clearing your IE browsing history (all checkboxes) and retry.
Per MSDN you can access version control on Visual Studio Online with Visual Studio 2008 using Team Explorer for Visual Studio Team System 2008 and MSSCCI 2013.
I know VS 2010 Pro/Premium/Ultimate include TFS connectivity, does VS 2010 Express?
No it doesn't.
See this SO question (What is “missing” in the Visual Studio Express Editions?) - one of the bullet points is no Team Explorer support, meaning to TFS integration.
On this Microsoft page for VS 2010, you can see the the Pro edition with MSDN essentials subscription has none of the TFS features out of the box, suggesting that this is also the case for the express SKUs.
I'm not sure if you can install this http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=329
Though i don't know why you wouldn't be able to install TFS support for free, since microsoft provides a free plugin for Eclipse that you can use.
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=4240
If you log onto codeplex, it will give you a free key to use this.
Edit: The following link makes it seems like you can use it in VS
https://tfs.discountasp.net/KB/a843/visual-web-developer-20052008-and-visual-studio-2010-express.aspx
While Visual Web Developer 2005/2008 and Visual Studio 2010 Express will not directly integrate with Team Foundation Server, you can still use the Team Explorer application to connect to your server to check files out for editing.
Assuming that you have already
installed Visual Web Developer
2005/2008 or Visual Studio 2010
Express on your workstation, perform
the following step:
Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 - ISO.
