VS2010: "Unable to find the requested .NET Framework Data Provider" - visual-studio

In VS2010, when I add an SQL Compact database to my App_Data folder, I'm unable to open and edit its schema. When I double click it says "Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider"
I installed SQL compact using NuGet's SQL compact repo and I've also installed "Microsoft SQL Server Data tools, Data Projects" using Microsoft Web Platform Installer 3.0.
What do I have to do so I can modify the schema of the SQL Compact database in Visual Studio 2010?

I used Windows Update that involved upgrading SQL Server 2008 to service pack 3 and that seem to work.

How add Oracle as provider for Entity Data Model wizard

Im using Visual Studio 2017. I follow the instructions from this answer:
Interoperate between ASP.NET MVC and Oracle DB (12c)
I can connect to my Oracle server using Server Explorer.
Install From Nuget
Oracle.ManagedDataAccess
Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EnitityFramework
Oracle.Web
But doesn't show on the Entity Data Model Wizard screen as provider.
What I'm missing?
To connect to oracle with EF 6.2, first install the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2017. Then add your tnsnames.ora in C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle Developer Tools for VS2017\network\admin
Install From Nuget
Oracle.ManagedDataAccess ,
Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EnitityFramework
Once you clean and rebuild your solution you will be able to add your EF class with the Data Model Wizard.

Adding SQL Server Compact Edition data source to Visual Studio?

I want to add a SQL Server Compact edition in my project in Visual Studio 2013.4, but I don't have the data source in my list:
Also, I don't have System.Data.Sqlce in my assemblies.
How can I add SQL Server Compact data source to my Visual Studio?
1: Install the relevant runtime MSI (3.5 SP2 or 4.0)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5783

2: Install the SQL Server Compact Toolbox VS Extension, and browse to the database file, it will also add the connection to Server Explorer (if you really need that)

Differences: creating sql database in visual studio & sql sever 2008

I usually use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for system development and I always use the built-in SQL Server Express in Visual Studio to create and manage a database.
Currently, I'm learning Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 to create and manage a database.
I got some questions here:
What is the differences of the database in built-in sql server in Visual Studio & SQL Server Management Studio? Such as features and limitations.
Will it be better to create and manage database in SQL Server Management Studio instead of the built-in visual studio database?
I encounter a problem which is unable to upload my built-in Visual Studio SQL database to the web server in the past. So is creating database in SQL Server Management Studio much ideal for uploading database file to web server?
Thanks in advance.
Te latest versions of SSMS say "powered by Visual Studio" so your question could be moot. I think using SSMS gets you slightly closer to the database server itself -- which if you are doing admin too may be a good thing.

Entity Data Model Wizard not showing Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 in vs 2012

I have SQL Compact 3.5 edition for which I am trying to generate an EDMX file using the Entity data model wizard. I am using Visual Studio 2012 Beta Ultimate.
I am trying to generate a Model (generate from the database). I create a new connection, selecting the change data source. Here I am not able to see Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 database file.
But I could see this in VS 2010.

SQL Server Compact 3.5 is not supported with Server Explorer etc in VS 2012.
UPDATE The latest version of the free SQL Server Compact Toolbox addin adds support for connecting SQL Server Compact 3.5 files to Server Explorer for working with the Entity Framework Tools

Oracle and entity framework in visual studio

I have installed all of the oracle software and databases and so on to work with .Net and Visual Studio 2010. There is a tutorial on the oracle website that describes how to work with the entity framework and oracle, yet.. when I am going through the entity data model wizard in visual studio 2010, I get to "choose your data connection", and the only thing there is "ApplicationServices". Yet in the tutorial on oracles website, there is an option for the oracle database? My oracle database is working and viewable from the server explorer... I have tried to edit web.config to add some kind of entry but that seems to have failed.
Did you install an EF provider for Oracle first? Oracle has a beta provider, and there are third-party providers (e.g., from Devart and others) as well.
