Why is my SSIS toolbox empty in Visual Studio 2019 community?

I installed Visual Studio 2019 Community and then installed data tools. I can open an Integration Services project but when I look at the SSIS Tooolbox, it's empty.
How do I fix this?
I am using visual studio 2017, To get the SSIS toolbox back, right-click on the SSIS design surface in the project and select SSIS Toolbox please see this link. This resolved it for me.
Adding the content below again, in case the webpage is not available in future.
I have installed the Data-Tier Application Framework and SQL Server
Data Tools for VS 2017 . I created a solution then returned to it a
week later and the SSIS toolbox had disappeared.
I opened the toolbox window using View -> Toolbox but it was empty.
To get the SSIS toolbox back, right-click on the SSIS design surface
in the project and select SSIS Toolbox – hey presto! it reappears.
This is a problem after Visual Studio does an update for Optimization.
I have confirmed that the fix is:
Open menu item:
- Tools
- Options
- Environment - On the General Tab - DISABLE/uncheck - "Optimize rendering for screens with different pixel densities"
This solved my problem.

A Picture is worth of thousand words
I think you should download and install the Integration Services Projects extension:
SQL Server Integration Services Projects
Since in Visual Studio 2019, for Analysis Services, Integration Services or Reporting Services projects, you have to install the appropriate extension(s) from the marketplace.
You can refer to the following official documentation for additional information:
Download and install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio
I had a project from 2017 and the toolbar would not open when I opened the project. I had to create a new empty project. Then go back and open the 2017 project. Then the toolbar appeared.
For me, enabling SSIS toolbox did the trick initially it did not show up in VS 2019 community

My two cents worth, I had the same issue-
In the toolbox window, right-click and select SHOW ALL.
Then right-click again, and turn off the SHOW ALL. Voilah...!

Visual Studio thinks `Microsoft Web Developer Tools` is installed

Symptoms
Visual Studio syntax highlighter and Intellisense for Javascript and Razor views are not working.
There is no Web templates installed when creating a new project.
When I try to uninstall the web developer feature:
Add or remove Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015 > Modify
Microsoft Web Developer Tools is always checked. Even when I uncheck it and uninstall it, then restart the computer; the next time I still see it's checked:
What I did to solve this:
Running devenv.exe \resetuserdata Command to reset the user data.
Running devenv.exe \installtemplates to install the templates.
Repairing the Visual Studio.
Trying to uninstall and re-install the Web Developer Tools feature through the Visual Studio installer.
None have worked so far.
What I guess
I think Visual Studio thinks this feature is installed (through some registry keys probably) but the files are actually not installed.
Because whenever I try to Modify the installation of Visual Studio, the Microsof Web Developer Tools check box is not checked for the first second, then it is checked again after 1 second.
Question
Any suggestion on fixing this without uninstalling Visual Studio itself?
I was having the same problem and this is what worked for me:
Uninstall ASP.NET Web Tools from Control Panel
Download and install "Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools" extension from: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c94a02e9-f2e9-4bad-a952-a63a967e3935
Try this (in order):
Find Microsoft ASP.NET 5 RC1 ... in control panel / programs &
select modify
Select repair
Run devenv.exe /installvstemplates as administrator
Run VS as administrator
I had the same problem with Visual Studio 2015. I tried several things, but simply updating Microsoft ASP.NET seemed to do the trick.
Install ASP.NET 5 RC1, restart, and the issue should be resolved.
I didn't know I had this problem until I opened an MVC project with Razor views and didn't have syntax highlighter and Intellisense. I was lucky to read your question because the symptoms are the same and so is the conclusion. And unfortunately none of the answers solves the problem. But it did help me to find the answer, or what worked for me.
What did the trick was installing .NET Core 1.0.0 (DotNetCore.1.0.0.RC2-Runtime-x64 and DotNetCore.1.0.0.RC2-VS2015Tools.Preview1). I am pretty sure that this is enough to solve the issue. But since I tried all kinds of things, it is possible that another action is required. In that case, continue reading below the images.
When I start a new project this opens the following dialog:
Selecting ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) opens the dialog with the projects I was looking for.
The syntax highlighter and Intellisense are also working for Razor views.
I do not know what caused the problem in the first place. Is the installation incomplete, is there a conflict with other software or did I do something that caused this?
Visual Studio 2012 is installed on my machine as well. I installed and uninstalled VS2015 (pro and community version) and then installed vs2015 Community on multiple volumes. On uninstalling I did use /Force and removed several folders manually.
Microsoft ASP.NET 5 RC Update 1 is also installed, but repairing this did not solve the issue. Also installing Asp.Net Web Framework tools 2015 didn't change anything. I copied templates to all template folders I could find (perhaps an issue with installing on multiple volumes?), ran devenv.exe with different parameters and deleted the '14' folder in my profile. None of this worked. Finally I installed .NET Core 1.0.0.

Web Developer Tools option must be installed

I have been working with Visual Studio Ultimate 2013. Today when I tried to open a solution, it tried to convert the solution and showed me error like
"The Web Developer Tools option must be installed prior to opening or creating Web projects. You can install this option by repairing your Microsoft Visual Studio installation and ensuring that 'Web Developer Tools' is checked in the list of optional components."
I goggled about this and tried to Modify the Visual Studio 2013 ultimate by enabling the Web Developer Tool. But here I am getting the other error like
Unable to Locate Package Source.
What should I do now?
Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Select your Visual Studio Version and hit "Change"
Click MODIFY and enable Web Developer Tools
Enable Web Developer Tools
Click Update
Perhaps the installer file for Visual Studio was deleted and is no longer available to modify installations. If you can't locate it, you could just re-install Visual Studio, but that takes awhile.

there is no ado.net entity data model in visual studio [duplicate]

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.

I don't see silverlight tab (and controls) after I've installed Silverlight 4 tools for visual studio 2010

I've just successfully installed Silverlight 4 tools for visual studio 2010. But I can't see any Silverlight tab in the tools box. Is there any configuration I need to proceed to.
Thanks for helping.
Try creating a new project in C# or VB. you should see an option to create a silverlight project and you will then be able to see the new controls in the toolbox.
Edit:
It looks like you go about it in a different way. Try creating a Silverlight application then select type as ASP.NET-MVC
