Error TF31002 When Trying to Connect SSDT 2010 TO VSTS

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.

Visual Studio 2015 reporting services missing

I have just installed SQL server 2014 developer on my home computer running windows 8.1. To create reports I installed Visual studio 2015 with the business intelligence templates. when I attempted to create a report, reporting services was missing from the templates the only template available was integration services. How can I get that template?
The Report Designer is part of the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools.
You can add it using the Visual Studio setup (Programs and Features > Visual Studio 2015 > Change)

SQL Server 2012 Tabular model project in Visual Studio 2010? SSDT

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.

How can i install ReportViewer 2012 in Visual Studio 2010

I was using reportviewer 2010 control in visual studio 2010 but i need to start using reportviewer 2012. How can I use the new ASP.NET webforms ReportViewer 2012 control in Visual Studio 2010 (without moving up to visual studio 2012)? Eventually I want to move up to Visual Studio 2012 and dotnet 4.5 but I'd prefer to keep using dotnet 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010 for a little while longer.
I think you are asking how you can 'create reports' for SSRS by the sounds of it, not just display them. Okay so this will sound weird but you need SQL Server 2012 either Enterprise, Developer, Standard with Advanced Tools edition. Any one of those should suffice to get you the tool you need. If you are looking to 'design' reports the tool is an add on to Visual Studio called 'Business Intelligence Development Studio', BIDS for short. For some reason it shows up now as 'SQL Server Data Tools' under 'All Programs' on Windows. You can thank Microsoft for making this version as confusing as possible to people looking to get into SSRS.
To install it you simply install all of SQL Server and when you get to the 'Features' section ensure that BIDS is selected. The version of BIDS IS NOT ON VS 2012, it is on VS 2010. For some reason the SQL team did not make the deployment of SQL Server coincide with Visual Studio so it goes along with VS 2010, NOT 2012. A great many people get this confused but I can say for a fact SSRS is an extension of BIDS, which in turn is an extension of Visual Studio. Not the other way around. You can create localized reports in VS 2012 that are 'rdlc' files but not the full blown SSRS you deploy to a server there.

Can Visual Studio 2010 Express connect to Team Foundation Server 2010?

I know VS 2010 Pro/Premium/Ultimate include TFS connectivity, does VS 2010 Express?
No it doesn't.
See this SO question (What is “missing” in the Visual Studio Express Editions?) - one of the bullet points is no Team Explorer support, meaning to TFS integration.
On this Microsoft page for VS 2010, you can see the the Pro edition with MSDN essentials subscription has none of the TFS features out of the box, suggesting that this is also the case for the express SKUs.
I'm not sure if you can install this http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=329
Though i don't know why you wouldn't be able to install TFS support for free, since microsoft provides a free plugin for Eclipse that you can use.
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=4240
If you log onto codeplex, it will give you a free key to use this.
Edit: The following link makes it seems like you can use it in VS
https://tfs.discountasp.net/KB/a843/visual-web-developer-20052008-and-visual-studio-2010-express.aspx
While Visual Web Developer 2005/2008 and Visual Studio 2010 Express will not directly integrate with Team Foundation Server, you can still use the Team Explorer application to connect to your server to check files out for editing.
Assuming that you have already
installed Visual Web Developer
2005/2008 or Visual Studio 2010
Express on your workstation, perform
the following step:
Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 - ISO.
