Oracle Connection through Visual Studio 2013 - oracle

I'm trying to use the Microsoft Connectors v2.0 for Oracle (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29283) to connect to an Oracle database through SSIS.
I am running Windows 7 SP 1 (64-bit), with Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. I have installed the connector:
I also have the 32-bit Oracle client installed on my machine for PL/SQL Developer - it works.
But when I create a package in VS 2013 and try to connect to the Oracle DB - I don't have the option to connect to the Oracle source:either by trying to add a new connection through the connection manager or creating a Data Flow Task and dragging the Oracle Source from "Other Sources" within the data flow.
Any suggestions on how to make this work?
Thanks,

Apparently you need the Microsoft Connectors v3.0 for Oracle to work with VS 2013.

SSIS ORA-12638 Visual Studio 2017

I am using visual studio 2017 and I am trying to create a SSIS package that connects to oracle. I am getting the ORA-12638: Credential Retrieval Failed. The server connection and the username and password that I am using works. I can connect using the same information through a linked server in SQL Management Studio and SQL Oracle Developer.
I have made the SQLNET.ora change to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE). I have also ran the tnsping.exe for the server that I am connecting too and verified that I changed the correct file.
How can I make a oracle connection in SSIS to oracle?
I had to install the Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) bundle which includes "Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio" from oracle.

Microsoft SSIS Connectors by Attunity Version 4.0 NOT showing on Visual Studio 2015

In one of our company meetings with Microsoft we were advised to use Microsoft SSIS Connectors by Attunity Version 4.0 if we extract data from Oracle. We used to extract the data from Oracle using Oracle Provider for OLE DB.
I have tried to install the recommended components without success. I have oracle clients 32 bits (ODTwithODAC122010.zip) and 64 bits (ODAC122010_x64.zip) installed and then I attempted to install SSIS Attunity Connectors as explained on this post. It's supposed that after the installation I would see the components on the SSIS toolbox (Data Flow section) but no matter what I do they simply don't show up.
I can successfully connect to oracle server using the component we have always used.
My SSIS projects target version is SQL Server 2016. Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. My OS: Windows 10 Enterprise.
I tried to install v4 32-bit version of the attunity connector and it did not work, I also tried to install v3 64-bit version of the attunity connector and the installation failed because I don't have SQL Server 2014 installed only 2016, which is why I'm supposed to use v4 64-bits.
Any advice from anybody who had an issue like this before?
You need both x86 and x64 versions of the Oracle clients.
And you should install both 4.0 and 5.0 x64 (x86 will be added automatically) versions of Attunity connectors.
After that you should be able (almost guaranteed) to see Attunity connectors in the SSIS Toolbox in VS2015.
Hope this helps.

Connect to Informix database using Visual Studio 2013

I want to connect to informix database from Visual Studio 2013. I've checked the IBM site and it contains whole lot of drivers and plugins. I've installed Client SDK and then I installed IBM server driver package then I installed Visual Studio add-in.
I tried connecting using setnet 32 and I'm able to succeed.
I'm able to connect to database using Squirrel and IBM Data Studio.
I'm able to connect to server using Visual Studio but it crashes when I opened a new query.
How can I connect to an Informix database from Visual Studio 2013?
Can you please clarify how are you trying to connect IDS database.
Are you trying to connect the database by using application code such as ODBC, .NET, ESQL/C etc while it is debug using VS.
Or
are you trying to create a connection node under VS database explorer.
If it is VS database explorer then Informix CSDK do not have support for it.
You will have to install IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio 2013.
This Add-Ins are part of IBM Data Server driver package.
This connectivity uses DRDA protocol, so you will have to enable DRDA port on the IDS server.
Then try create VS database explorer entries by specifying the DRDA port.
(or connect if the entry already exist)

Attunity SSIS not available in SSIS Data Flow Tasks

I installed the Attunity SSIS connector from the below link into my machine. My machine is a Windows 7 Laptop, and I am using Visual Studio 2008 as my IDE to create my integration service project. Now according to the help provided with Attunity, I should be able to choose the oracle connectors from the "Choose toolbox items -> SSIS Data flow tasks", however the connectors are just not available in the list. I verified the program files folder and I can see the Attunity folder along with the language folders. I already restarted my machine as well. Is there anything I am missing to use these connectors?

I believe that you have installed the wrong version of the Attunity SSIS connector. The link that you had provided contains the connector for SSIS 2012 and not for SSIS 2008.
Here is the link to the correct Attunity connector for SSIS 2008
Microsoft® Connectors v1.2 for Oracle and Teradata
I installed the above version and I can see the connectors displayed on SSIS Data Flow Items in Choose toolbox items dialog.

Connecting SQL Server 2008 R2 with Visual Studio 2010

I'm trying to connect SQL Server 2008 R2 to Visual Studio 2010. It seems that the versions are not consistent, it's a little strange for me since SQL Server is 2008 and VS is 2010!!! Since I'm a new user and cant upload image here you may find a screen shot of the error here:
http://img4up.com/up2/51497019025204797538.jpg
Would appreciate if anyone can help me.
Best Regards
Instead of using "Microsoft SQL Server Database File" use "Microsoft SQL Server"
Then connect using the server address and user information.
Visual Studio 2010 installs SQL Server Express 2008 and your database was created with SQL Server 2008 R2. You'll need to upgrade to SQL Server Express 2008 R2 to open this database.
You shouldn't be using the file option if the instance of SQL Server already exists and you plan to create a persistent database there (or use an existing one). You should be selecting a proper instance of SQL Server.
Follow the same steps as iamkrillin/Stecenko Ruslan suggested., If you had provided a username and password during the installation of SQL Server R2 , then choose the radio button "Use SQL Authentication" instead of "Use Windows Authentication"., in the "Add Connection" dialog of Visual Studio 2010.
