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.

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.

I have looked through a several forums and cannot find an answer to my specific question so don't hurt me if I have asked something that has been answered before. I have a SSRS report project that was created in Visual Studio 2005 (then upgraded to 2008) before my time at my company and i need to upgrade it to 2013 Visual studio. I know normally you just open the file and use the migration wizard, however i get an error because my Visual Studio 2013 does not recognize the .rptproj file and thus does not fully migrate the solution. I have a copy of VS Shell 2010 that was able to upgrade it to 2010 but this did not help me to migrate it to 2013. Is there a way i can migrate this over without having to buy more copies of VS to do a stair step migration?
You can first check if the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 module is installed on your computer.
I opened our Visual Studio 2010 Professional and noticed that I do not have an option New>.. the only options I have are:
New Team Project (not what I want to use, I simply want a new project)
Connect to Team Project
New File (looked and didn't see an option for New Project)
Open File..
I also tried resetting all settings to default by using Tools> Import and Export Settings> Reset all Settings.
Any ideas?
Much appreciated, thank you!
Alright so this did it for me:
I had to add SQL Server Data Tools to my SQL Server 2012 installation (done by adding/removing features)
Downloaded Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2010
Downloaded SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
(I know it says 2012 but according to this article it says that you need to download either VS 2012 or VS 2013 since they no longer support the SSDT for 2010.
I found this very helpful when researching the entire problem, it highlights scenarios that work and that don't work as well as what to do to remedy the situation.
I really hope that this helps anyone in the future with the same problem I had. Let me know :)
I seem to have a really unique problem with my visual studio 2010 installation. Before installing visual studio i installed SQL Server 2012 express and SQL Server Management Studio. After that i installed Visual Studio 2010 ultimate. The installation goes fine but after it is complete i can't find the application launch icons anywhere. the only new programs that are added are Microsoft Test Manager and Microsoft Visual Studio Documentation. Please Help me!
You need to install the Service pack 1 for it to work! You can download it here
I'm not sure which OS you are running but I'm using Windows 8, and I'm dealing with the same issue. I was able to start VS2010 by clicking on the SQL Server Data Tool icon (same as the VS2010 icon). I hope this helps!
Not even in the directory under program files(x86)?
You could try to open the installation again, if it detects Visual Studio it will ask you to repair the installation :)
I right clicked on the .csproj file > open with >...
I guess your Visual Studio program is Service Pack 1; that is why it can't work with sqlserver express edition. I faced same issue but fixed it by installing sqlserver 2008 Service Pack 2 in place of sql server Express I was previously using.
In my system when I click on Add->new project->And go to Other project types I cant see any project types. I actually wanted to convert my c# project to executable.
Is any component missing during installation? I am using Visual studio 2008 professional edition
Please help me..
I had the same issue until I looked into what software I was ACTUALLY using - check to see if you're really using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 - I thought I was until I realized I was using Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) which is different.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) is part of the SQL Server 2008 Management Studio, so the project types available to it are different than MSVS 2008... Microsoft developed the Shell to have the same look and feel of Visual Studio so users were comfortable and familiar with the layout.
Go to Tools>>Import and Export Settings>>Reset all settings>>Choose yes or no to save current settings>>
Then choose Visual C# Development Settings or General Development Settings.
So that you can have templates you need.
You can reopen your VisualStudio ISO and try to repair or you can install VisualStudio Express to make sure you can install all templates.
My guess is you didn't make a full installation and forgot to install some components.
