Visual Studio 2017 Creates SDF

I am using Visual Studio 2017 Community and installed .Net desktop development which has SQL Server Express 2016 LocalDB installed.
I am creating a database through code for a PluralSight project. It creates a SQL Server Compact Edition (.sdf) instead of SQL Server Express (.mdf).
I can't figure out why the Express database is being created. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Oracle Connection through Visual Studio 2013

I'm trying to use the Microsoft Connectors v2.0 for Oracle (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29283) to connect to an Oracle database through SSIS.
I am running Windows 7 SP 1 (64-bit), with Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. I have installed the connector:
I also have the 32-bit Oracle client installed on my machine for PL/SQL Developer - it works.
But when I create a package in VS 2013 and try to connect to the Oracle DB - I don't have the option to connect to the Oracle source:either by trying to add a new connection through the connection manager or creating a Data Flow Task and dragging the Oracle Source from "Other Sources" within the data flow.
Any suggestions on how to make this work?
Thanks,
Apparently you need the Microsoft Connectors v3.0 for Oracle to work with VS 2013.

Oracle not available in Visual Studio 2013

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate on a machine which already had Oracle data provider for .net (odp.net) and I wanted to use Entity Framework with Oracle but Oracle connection is not available:
The odp.net was working with Visual Studio 2013 Professional before I uninstalled it.
You need to install Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio to use any of the database related designers in Visual Studio:

VS 2010 cannot see SQL Server 2012 Express

On my PC with Windows 8 there is Visual Studio 2012, SQL Server 2012 Express (x64), SQL Server 2012 (x64).
Visual Studio 2012 works perfectly with SQL Server 2012 Express and SQL Server 2012. It easily adds sqlexpress to data connections of server explorer by name .\SQLEXPRESS.
But now I'm trying to add SQLEXPRESS in Visual Studio 2010. But it cannot find it.
I thought it couldn't because of version of SQL Server 2012 Express. So I've tried to install SQLEXPR_x64_ENU (SQL Server 2008 Express), but installation stacks on "Setup Support Rules". There appears error "Performance counter registry hive consistency"
I don't know should and can I install SQL Server 2008 Express. Or the solution is somewhere else?
P.S. When I'm trying to add SQL Database Server to App_Data (asp.net mvc3) there is an error "Connections to SQL Server database files (.mdf) require SQL Server 2005 Express or SQL Server 2008 Express to be installed and running on the local computer..."
So I think I should edit register of Windows to let know Visual Studio 2010 where SQL Server Express is situated...
What are your suggestions?
Did you install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 prior to installing SQL Server Express 2012 (or at all)? See this article: http://www.formatyourbrain.com/sql-server-express-2012-visual-studio-2010/

Visual Studio 2008 Reporting Services backward compability issue

I know there is an Issue using SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services and Visual Studio 2005, but does this error still exsist with Visual Studio 2008 and 2010?
If so, is there any work-aground to get this working?
I do know that SSIS 2005 requires VS 2005 and that SSIS 2008 requires VS 2008. So if you have upgraded your SQL Server 2005 client tool installation to 2008, there is no way (AFAIK) to create SSIS 2005 projects.
My guess is that you will see the same issues with SSRS as with SSIS.
