Is there any Visual Studio 2010 add-in available for Rocket U2 .NET Database Provider (Universe)? I know there is a tool for 2008 but I can't get this new U2 .NET tool Kit working and generate an ERM.
The answer to your first question is: yes there is.
Both the .NET Toolkit and UniObjects for .NET should work seamlessly with VS 2010.
You can download the necessary software from the Rocket U2 website under "resources/downloads"
You can also use UniObjects for .NET which is available in the "u2-Clients" download on the Rocket website. This is a DLL which you then add as a reference in your Visual Studio project and makes it possible to interact with your UniVerse database and data. The documentation on how to use both products is also available there for download.
If this does not help, ask a more specific question stating the exact error messages you are getting, together with details of which .NET framework version you are using and UniVerse platform and version.
I would like to inform you that U2NETDK V 1.2.0 will have new product called U2 Database Add-ins for Visual Studio. It will allow you Server Explorer Integration that simplifies U2 data access in .NET. You will see U2 Tables, Views and Subroutines in Server Explorer and you can drag and drop in Designer such as DataSet Designer / Entity Data Model Designer. We will go EAP soon.
One more thing, I want to add that you do not need any more 'UniObjects for .NET' as this functionality is added into 'U2 Toolkit for .NET' Product. We have sample code in the installation that demonstrates 'UniObjects for .NET' functionality.

I searched many times, but there was no answer from MSFT or any other communities for this issue.
I have the Community edition 2019. Tabular model explorer is greyed out in the View->Toolbar->Other windows. I have no luck with VS 2017 EE as well, the same problem there too.
I could able to use the Import Datasource button on the Model menu and pull the source tables for building, however, Tabular model explorer and the data source folders are missing or not being able to use from a project perspective. Since the tabular model explorer is missing, I couldn't able to use the data transform window for each table and thus literally making a stop on development.
This is really annoying.

[SSAS Tabular Explorer Window greyed out]1
In your screenshot, Model.bim does not appear to be open. You have to open it for Tabular Model Explorer to show up. Double click Model.bim in Solution Explorer.
Other issues that I don't believe apply to you, but may to others:
The Compatibility Level of the model must be at least 1400. Check by selecting Model.bim in Solution Explorer and then look in the Properties Window.
You also must have the Analysis Services extension installed. Search on "SSDT" for current installation steps.
If you left click on the Model.bim File in solution explorer and look at the properties window you should see Compatibility Level is 1103 or less. You will need to upgrade to a newer compatibility level to use Tabular Model Explorer. What version is your SSAS Server? You can upgrade to that level or lower.
You are probably using compatibility level 1400, in which you have to click on the Design button instead - see this Microsoft reply.
You need to install the Analysis services tabular projects extension from the Marketplace. Post that you should be able to see the tabular model explorer
I have 1400 compatibility level and still the tabular explorer didn't show up, it was greyed, it's some kind of bug, you can solve it by simply double clicking again on the model and opening it.
What can I uninstall from this large chunk of programs without breaking Visual Studio Community 2015. I do not use any SQL services or any .NET frameworks for any sort of development, so I don't need SQL or .NET features. Unfortunately VS forced them upon me.
In fact, I only really use Visual Studio to code C/C++ and Fortran, and have no use for its other features.
In search for a solution I came across this cool preview build which would almost exactly be the solution to my predicament, but I need Intel C/C++/Fortran compiler and Intel Visual Fortran (extension for VS) compatibility to be maintained. Intel does not support non-official releases so VS Preview won't do.
Did you install the VS 2015 through the default installation or custom default? If you chose the default installation, those installed items in your first screenshot should be required for the VS 2015, it is better to keep it to make the VS work stable.
If you chose the custom installation, please have a look at the article and it lists the custom components, then you can remove them if you do not need it anymore. To remove them, you can right click the VS 2015 item under Uninstall a program list table and choose Change-Modify, then uncheck the checkbox of those components that you selected in your original custom installation, then the VS installer will auto uninstall those components. Before you try to uninstall any components, I recommend you backup your Windows OS firstly, you can find the backup method per your OS edition search here.
The .NET Framework is required and the basic component for VS, when you try to create any project types in VS, there is a default .NET Framework version like the following:
I am developing in SAP Business One Studio for Microsoft Visual Studio (VS2010) and whilst I am able to preview my forms (.b1f) files in the SAP Business One Client, I cannot permanently add them. On logging out of the SAP Business One client and logging back in again, the Visual Studio forms I have added disappear.
Can anyone tell me how to permanently add these to the SAP Business One client menu from VS2010? I researched this on-line and previous versions of SAP have a Visual Studio wizard, which creates a .rda file from the VS2010 solution, which can be imported to the SAP client but I do not have this wizard in VS2010.
Just to let people know that we ended up resolving this by adding our B1Studio exe file to the installer project present in the SAP SDK samples, as an Embedded Resource.
Next we created the .ard file using the SAP\Tools\AddOnRegDataGen\AddOnRegDataGen.exe tool. The ard file (add on) can then be added to the SAP client in the Administration->Add ons menu. Hope this helps someone else. No sign of the installation wizard in the Business One Studio for VS2010 and no response from SAP support.
I finally found some resources and a solution. I will share it here.
It is documented here that this indeed is a feature and not a bug.
In this excellent series of blogs you can find anything you always wanted to know, but never dared to ask about SQLServerCompact 4.0
The author of these blogs has made a wonderful Add-In for Visual Studio 2010 that adds Entity Data Model wizard functionality to create a model from a SQLServerCompact 4.0 database for any type of project.
I am experimenting with the database project in Visual Studio 2010. The schema diff and management of scripts looks great, but where are the database diagrams? I would like to design the tables visually, but still make use of the versioning/comparison/deployment tools in VS2010. I didn't see any option in the database project to create a diagram. Is that not supported?
You could create the diagrams in SSMS (or another diagramming/modelling tool) as you would do normally, and synchronize the structure back to your Visual Studio Database Project, although you'll need the Premium or Ultimate version of Visual Studio to use this feature.
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for,
but I suggest you add an Entity Diagram (Entity Framework) to your
project / solution. This will allow you to design/describe your data model(s)
either by drawing them visually or by importing an existing database schema.

I hope this helps you get started
There certainly is diagramming support.
Open the "Server Explorer"
Create/open a data connection.
You should see "Database Diagrams", which will function very similarly to the same function in SQL Server Management Studio.
Bam.
Note, I'm referring to V2010 Ultimate.
