Last year, I used VS2010 to develop a Winforms application. Now, I changed to VS2013 and I faced some problems.
I couldn't find a way to manage SQL Server Compact Edition database files (.sdf) in VS2013. Although I have installed an add-in from this website
But I can only see the top 200 rows of data in the .sdf, I can't open connection in order to add more data with code.
Is there any solution for me ?
Go to Options in the addin, and you change 200 to any number
Could you clarify what you mean by: "cant open connection in order to add more data with code" ?

I searched many times, but there was no answer from MSFT or any other communities for this issue.
I have the Community edition 2019. Tabular model explorer is greyed out in the View->Toolbar->Other windows. I have no luck with VS 2017 EE as well, the same problem there too.
I could able to use the Import Datasource button on the Model menu and pull the source tables for building, however, Tabular model explorer and the data source folders are missing or not being able to use from a project perspective. Since the tabular model explorer is missing, I couldn't able to use the data transform window for each table and thus literally making a stop on development.
This is really annoying.

[SSAS Tabular Explorer Window greyed out]1
In your screenshot, Model.bim does not appear to be open. You have to open it for Tabular Model Explorer to show up. Double click Model.bim in Solution Explorer.
Other issues that I don't believe apply to you, but may to others:
The Compatibility Level of the model must be at least 1400. Check by selecting Model.bim in Solution Explorer and then look in the Properties Window.
You also must have the Analysis Services extension installed. Search on "SSDT" for current installation steps.
If you left click on the Model.bim File in solution explorer and look at the properties window you should see Compatibility Level is 1103 or less. You will need to upgrade to a newer compatibility level to use Tabular Model Explorer. What version is your SSAS Server? You can upgrade to that level or lower.
You are probably using compatibility level 1400, in which you have to click on the Design button instead - see this Microsoft reply.
You need to install the Analysis services tabular projects extension from the Marketplace. Post that you should be able to see the tabular model explorer
I have 1400 compatibility level and still the tabular explorer didn't show up, it was greyed, it's some kind of bug, you can solve it by simply double clicking again on the model and opening it.
I used JetBrains Rider to create an SQLite database (14 tables and 6 views). Rider was more user friendly than Visual Studio 2017. I went back to Visual Studio for the c# programing part. The "SQLite-SQL Server Compact Toolbox" was able to connect to the DB but there were some error messages. For example when I wanted to "Edit top 200 rows" of a table there was an error but the select * worked. More importantly, when I wanted to add ADO object (to use Entity framework) there was an error again.
When I created some tables in VS there was no such problem. So I wonder where can be the problem?
I figured out that the problem is with "SQLite-SQL Server Compact Toolbox". If the definition of the Views has comments then you can not add entity framework based on your database using Visual Studio. Though the database is ok, the select * from myTable works.
Rider has no problem with comments in View.
The toolbox has no problem with comment in table just in the view.
I'm currently using visual studio 2013 and conntecting to oracle DB using the server explorer. Its only showing me the top 5000 tables. Where can i change the number of tables that visual studio displays ?
Here is the screenshot of the message.
Just Figured it out :
If we go to tools> Options > Oracle Developer Tools>DataConnections
But Unfortunately 5000 is the maximum number of objects that we can see. :(
We have recently upgraded to windows 7 and have noticed that there are compatibility issues with my previous version of MS visual Studio 2005.
From taking a look around the web I believe that this issue is due to SP1 for Windows 7. My organisation will not get rid of SP1 just for one or two developers so I need to figure out a work around.
This is the issue...
I have an old MS visual studio website that has a report located on the home. This report was created in MS VS 2005.
Other versions of Visual Studio in have are 2010 and 2012. I have tried to convert the 2005 report into 2010 and this does state that it has been converted but I still cant open or do anything with the report. My 2005 web site is too large to convert or move into 2010 and we can still maintain this 2005 site by opening this up in 2010. It just seems to be a problem with the 2005 report.
I'm running out of options to make a simple change to a report. Anyone else got any ideas? I have even tried to create this report in 2010 and then add this to my 2005 site but this doesn't work.
Regards
Betty.
You say a report and then say that it is a whole site? Why not run a second site in tandom? Make a whole new site and name it differently like
http:// (servername)/Reports2012
Then put reports there. You cannot open a converted report in a site that is for a prior version, you can view it in Microsoft Business Intelligence Studio, BIDS, which is an add on to Visual Studio. If you can upgrade but cannot view it there, there is something wrong with the language file potentially. I would then make a copy of it in the old 2005 BIDS, then take that copy and see if you can upgrade that and if it will work. If that STILL does not work you could make a test report in BIDS 2010(SQL 2012 works on VS 2010, yes weird but true) to assure you can create reports there. Many times people try to open SQL Server 2012 Reports on VS 2012 and it won't work. You need 2010 add on you can find it under All Programs>MS SQL Server 2012>SQL Server Data Tools(They made the naming very confusing as it opens up and display BIDS, but calls itself 'Data Tools' under the programs). Every other version of SSRS lines up with that year of SQL Server to that year of VS. Not 2012.
If the report upgrade still does not work, yet you can create a run a new report fine; I would suggest potentially opening up the file dircectly. Your projects in a Reports solution generally have a file '(something).rdl' that RDL is the actual file and is just XML markup of the language. This is a last resort as you are essentially trying to do manually what the upgrade is failing to do in the xml. You merely copy a working report, and then paste the parts of the old report into their correct sections. Ensure the XML is valid as well.
If you cannot manage that to work you will need to recreate the report from scratch.

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:
