Using Visual Studio 2013, I'm trying to use a local development DB created by SSDT as the source for an Entity model.
I can connect to this DB using the Entity Data Model wizard, but non of the Tables, Stored Procedures, or Views show up.
According this article,http://visualstudiomagazine.com/blogs/data-driver/2012/06/sql-server-data-tools-a-work-in-progress.aspx
"Also, integration with Entity Framework, which actually worked in the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview, was removed in the Visual Studio 11 Beta, as the SSDT blog explained in March. A post said: "Based on the feedback received and the remaining engineering work that would have been required to complete the experience, the decision was made to not include this functionality in Visual Studio 11."
Given this article is more than two years old, does anyone know if Microsoft added support for Entity in Visual Studio '13 SSDT?
Any other ideas as to why I cannot see any database objects?
Have you published the database from visual studio to the local instance, right click on the DB proj and select publish.

I have installed Visual Studio 2017 with SSDT extension.
There is a Query (on OLAP) in SAP BW. I can connect to this query using Analysis for Office from Excel to see the data from this query. This connection is made through Insert Data source using SAP logon and my credentials.
My question is - Can I open the Query in Visual Studio like a Project? I mean not just see the data without any relationships, but to see the table and design views? How can I import the Model into Visual Studio?
Thank you
You need Microsoft BW Connector installed which is a part of Microsoft® SQL Server® 2016 Feature Pack and also you need BI Developer Extensions for Visual Studio (SSDT) which you supposedly already have.
Just select SAP BW Source as a data source in Visual Studio and follow the instructions from this guide. Finally you should have something like this
Recently had need to edit some existing reports and have not been able to access the report designer in Visual Studio 2019. My application is WPF using SQLite and Entity Framework in C#. I haven't had to work with reports in a couple of years and don't have good notes from the original development. App, including reports, runs fine.
Recently upgraded to Visual Studio 16.3.0 Preview 2.0. Have SSDT included. Installed Reporting Service Projects 2.5.9. Have run Repair on VS 2019.
Perhaps need a reporting services project? Sorry don't have good notes from original development.
I can't locate "Local Database Cache template" in visual studio 2013. And I need it.
In Visual Studio 2010, my steps are:
I have a WPF project, by right-clicking the project node and choosing Add | New Item. Under the language, click Data and select the Local Database Cache template. Name this NorthwindLocalDataCache.sync and click Add. This opens the Configure Data Synchronization screen.
Now in VS 2013, is there an alternative way?
SQL Server Compact Edition has been deprecated... As such the Local Database Cache, which makes use of that product is no longer part of Visual Studio 2013.
Instead you should now make use of SQL Server LocalDB or a Service-based database.
From the Release Notes of Visual Studio 2013:
Local Database Cache
The Local Database Cache template and the Configure Data Synchronization dialog box are not included in Visual Studio 2013. You can use Visual Studio 2013 to open and run projects that were created in Visual Studio 2010 if Microsoft Synchronization Services v1.0 is installed, but if you want to update them in Visual Studio 2013, you must make all changes manually in code. As an alternative, you can continue to use Visual Studio 2010 to maintain and update these projects. For new development, target the new synchronization model that's provided by the Microsoft Sync Framework. For information, see Microsoft Sync Framework Developer Center
Source: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh266747.aspx
As you can see, you're trying to follow a technique that is no longer supported. either upgrade it to the new Sync Framework or manually setup your syncs.
I have started to prefer SSDT to SQL Management studio. But suddenly when I needed it I could not find SQL Server Object Explorer in view menu.
Not sure who took it away, I recently pushed update-2 for visual studio.
I could not locate stand-alone version of SSDT for VS-2013
Can any one please save me from re-installing Visual Studio :-(
According to this blog post on MSDN SSDT is now an integrated part of VS:
Visual Studio 2013 - VS 2013 now has SQL Server tooling built in and
shipped as part of the core product. Database Projects, SQL tools
(such as schema compare & data compare), and the online experiences
through SSOX are all included with the RTM version. We have full
project and SSOX support in VS Express for Web and Express for Windows
Desktop, so we have discontinued our stand-alone integrated shell
offering.
When I looked at the Extensions and Updatesin VS2013 I had an update available for SQL Server Data Tools and when I clicked it I got a downloadable installer (SSDTsetup.exe) which might be what you are looking for.
The link that gave the download was this: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=393521&clcid=0x409
This question already has answers here:
Missing "Ado.Net Entity Data Model" on Visual Studio 2013
(13 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
After installed Visual Studio 2013 and create a new MVC4 internet application project :
Visual Studio Doesn't have Ado.net Entity Data Model when i click on add->new item->
Why?
I reinstall it but ther is no change ...
Here's an updated solution I found as I had the same problem with Visual Studio 2015: ado.net model for db is gone Visual studio 2015
Paraphrasing: Change your installation of Visual Studio 2015 and include the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools (via Control Panel > Program & Features > VS2015 > Change > Modify > Windows and Web Development > Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools).
After downloading the extension and restarting Visual Studio, you should be able to add ADO.NET Entity Data Model as a new item.
As I learned the hard way trying to follow older Visual Studio tutorials, trying to use View > Other Windows > Data Sources etc. doesn't do the same thing.
You have to install a the Entity Framework NuGet Package by right-clicking the specific project and then select "Manage NuGet Package". It'll pop-up a Window where you can search for existing packages online and install them
you should try to run VS as administrator. I've tried both ways, first, the common way that is to run VS with left click, doing it like this I have the same problem: no ADO.NET Entity Data Model option. However, if I run it as administrator (right click -> run as administrator) everything shows up.
