I am trying to create a SQL Server Compact 4.0 database to a new project in Visual Studio Ultimate 2013.
I have followed these steps:
Created a Entity Data model diagram (.edmx)
Right-click on empty area -> Generate Database From Model... -> New Connection...
In the Choose Data Source dialog box I only have SQL Server, SQL Server DB file and Other
I have tried repairing the SQL Server Compact 4.0 installation but nothing changes. Where are the options for this dialog box configured?
You need to install the SQL Server Compact Toolbox, which will enable the SQL Server Compact DDEX provider for the Data Source dialog. Go to the About screen in the Toolbox and Install DDEX providers, a VS restart may be required.

I am using Visual studio 2019 (SSIS) but for some reason, the Oracle Provider for OLE DB is not showing in the source or destination. I have downloaded the latest ODAC for 64 and 32 bit as well as the ODT for the latest VS and none of these work. I have restarted my pc thinking this would need to synch but still nothing shows.
Am I missing a step perhaps?
Do this:
Right click on the Connection Manager > New Connection Manager
Choose OLEDB froma list of connections and then press Add:
Press New and at the top drop-down menu where you choose the Provider search for Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
You are now good to go.
I created a test WinForms app in Visual Studio 2013 Premium (admin) & Update2. Enabled SQL Server debugging. Created a data connection to my local Northwind database. I am admin on the box. Expanded the stored procedures list and right clicked on several SP's and I was expecting a 'step into Stored Procedure' option and it doesn't exist. I am following the steps from here.
I right clicked on the connection name and there's no enable SQL/CLR debugging option. I read about references to SQL Server Object Explorer which is under Server Explorer and that's missing too. I am using SQL Server 2012 Developer edition.
Why am I missing all these options?
You might need to install SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio:

can any one tell me what i did wrong? and how can i fix it?
If you are using VS express edition:
http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/faq.wiki
The design-time components are no longer supported for the Express
editions due to licensing restrictions.
check this forum thread :Using SQLite with Visual Basic 2010 Express
otherwise:
You need to install ADO.NET 2.0 Provider for SQLite and check "install designer component option" when you install System.Data.SQLite
Ones you install above, when you add data source select "System.Data.SQLite Database File (.NET Framework Data Provider for SQLite)"
click on new button and ones you done. check connection using "test connection" button.
I have connected with the database successfully by using wizard in server explorer. but the data source is showing nothing. i have googled and search on msdn help. but not get help.
I want to add data source. but add new data source option is disabled for me.
I am using windows form application...
I want ask that am i doing right. could you please tell me how can i get rid of not showing thing.
PLEASE HELP!!!
The Server Explorer of Visual Studio 2010 and the Datasource of your application are completely different. Check the following links to see how you can connect your Windows Form Application with Sql-Server database:
Walkthrough: Connecting to Data in a SQL Server Express Database (Windows Forms)
Connecting to a Database with Visual Studio Tools
I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 and I already have Visual Studio 2010.
When I try to connect to the SQL Server there exists no server on my Add Connection while my database engine works properly.
Why is that so?
As far as I can tell, in Server Explorer, you need to click the "Connect to Database" toolbar icon (or right-click Data Connections and choose "Add Connection...").
From the Data source list, choose Microsoft SQL Server and then click Continue. The Add Connection dialog box displays so you can enter your server name (machinename\instancename). You can choose between Windows or SQL Server Authentication (depends on how you set it up, but Windows Authentication should work for a local installation).
Once you have entered a correct server name and credentials you'll get a list of databases to choose. Select one if you wish and click OK. That should get your server added to the list for Visual Studio 2010.
The issue is that is VS 2010, you need to type in your localhost instead of choosing the connection from the drop-down list. I hope this issue is resolved in the next releases.
I believe if from VB 2010 you go to Project >> Add New Item and choose the appropiate path for your server it should work.
