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

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.

When I Google and look up how to add a RDLC report to my Visual Studio 2013 Project I get the answer i'd expect, usually "In the Templates pane, select Report or Report Wizard"
This article is one of them: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252067(v=VS.100).aspx
Nowhere can I find anything about "what if there is no Reports section" in your installed Templates
For the last month I thought this was because I needed to download SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2013. Yesterday I installed this. As a result I now appear to have a new version of Visual Studio 2013 called "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Shell (Integrated)". It has a purple icon and loads with a black splash image
My Project is currently running and being developed in Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web which has a green icon
If I try to load my project into the new Integrated Shell VS 2013 I get errors. What I really want is just to have the template available so I can add RDLC reports
I have already used MuGet to install MvcReportViewer and set my web config etc and references. Following instructions at https://www.nuget.org/packages/MvcReportViewer/
Now I need to create an RDLC but have no Template to do so
Could it be that VS-2013 Express has this feature turned off, because if I go into Help/About VS2013 Express for Web it has SQL Server Data Tools 12.0.30919.1 as an Installed product
Any comments appreciated
As far as I know, you can't use VS 2013 Express to edit RDLC files. It requires at least the professional version.
See: http://community.dynamics.com/nav/b/navteam/archive/2013/12/19/microsoft-visual-studio-2013-now-supported-for-rdlc-report-design.aspx
You can, however, create them in Sql Server Reporting Services, which is part of the advanced version of Sql Server Express Edition, using SQL Server Business Intelligence Developer Studio (BIDS) Express.
Try to download (Microsoft Report viewer 2012 run-time)
& Report Builder3
- First is the tool that display & Print Report.
- Report Builder is the tool that you can design report with it.
You Must have SQL Server 2012 Installed
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 installed VS2012 Ultimate on a fresh PC. I tried adding the Crystal Reports file in my project but there is no crystal report .crt Item avaliable into Add New Item menu of the VS2012
Is there a version for VS2012? or do I have to install an extra setup file for crystal reports which is redundant since I already have VS2012 installed.
Here it is! - SP 25 works on Visual Studio 2019, SP 21 on Visual Studio 2017
SAP released SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio
You can get it here (click "Installation package for Visual Studio IDE")
To integrate “SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio” you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime distribution only.
New In SP25 Release
Visual Studio 2019, Addressed incidents, Win10 1809, Security update
This post is right from SAP on Sep 20, 2012.
In short, they are still working on a release of Crystal Reports that will support VS2012 (including support for Windows 8) It will come in the form of a service pack release that updates the version currently supporting VS2010. At that time they will drop 2010/2012 from the name and simply call it Crystal Reports Developer.
If you want to download that version you can find it here.
Further, service packs etc. when released can be found here.
I would also add that I am currently using Visual Studio 2012. As long as you don't edit existing reports they continue to compile and work fine. Even on Windows 8. When I need to modify a report I can still open the project with VS2010, do my work, save my changes, and then switch back to 2012. It's a little bit of a pain but the ability for VS2010 and VS2012 to co-exist is nice in this regard. I'm also using TFS2012 and so far it hasn't had a problem with me modifying files in 2010 on a "2012" solution.
There is also someone who managed to modify CR for VS.NET 2010 to install on 2012, using MS ORCA in this thread: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3235515 . I couldn't get it to work myself, though.
"SP25 work on Visual Studio 2019" is an exaggeration. It is extremely unreliable and should be avoided at all costs. I currently have to maintain a second development environment with V2015 for report development.
Were I work we are currently using visual studio 2008 because 2010 did not include the bids stuff, I have now been asked to test out whether 2012 is any better so we have a virtual machine that I've been allowed to work on and we've got visual studio 2012 and 2012 integration services installed on it.
I tried to open one of our solutions which has various report projects in it. When I do this I get a one way upgrade option which I chose and then I get the following:
Projectname.rptproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: link
This link doesn't work properly and I can't seem to find very much on this for visual studio 2012 am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for any help.
Microsoft has recently released the tools necessary to open and create .rptproj projects in VS2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
According to this, it appears that you have to install the client tools for VS2012 (from the SQL2012 installer) in order to get the BIDS bits. Incidentally, installing VS2012 client tools will apparently update both VS2010 and VS2012.
