Failed to connect with PostgreSQL from PowerBI Desktop - postgresql

I've installed the followings
PowerBI desktop
PostgreSQL
Npgsql v4.1.1 (from https://github.com/npgsql/Npgsql/releases)
Visual Studio 2019 (community)
Even after installing all the above, still I am getting
This connector requires one or more additional components to be installed before it can be used.
Is there anything else, I've to install?

I've re-installed the Visual Studio 2019 and it works.

SSMS 17.9.1 crashes on "connect"

I installed SSMS 17.9.1.
When I start SSMS it crashes when I try to connect to the database server.
See this 5 second video
https://vimeo.com/302442420/2ed86b92d8
My only action is to click on the "connect" button.
Then the object explorer appears quickly followed by SSMS shutdown.
How can I get SSMS to work properly ?
I asked the same question on the Microsoft Developer Network.
This is the solution that worked:
Uninstall SSMS
Uninstall Visual Studio 2015 IsoShell
Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2015(or 2017 if you are using it) Redistributable. Uninstall both x86 and x64 if they're on your computer.
Reinstall Visual Studio 2015 IsoShell
Reinstall SSMS
Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
It took a long time!

Getting error in AWS toolkit for Visual Studio: Error loading AWS profile

I have installed AWS SDK toolkit for VS 2017. It was working fine. All of a sudden since few days back i am getting error "Error loading AWS profiles: Method not found:'Amazon.Runtime.TcpKeepAlive Amazon.Runtime.ClientConfig.get_TcpKeepAlive()"
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the toolkit, also i tried installing it on other machine with VS 2013, but both giving same error.
Is it problem with toolkit or anything changed on AWS side?
I have Windows 10 with latest updates.
VS2017 community edition
VS2013 community edition
Thanks in advance.
It is mostly caused an older version of AWSSDK.core that has already been added to GAC and is forcing your VS to use an older version of AWSSDK.core.dll.
After uninstalling all the other/previous versions of AWSSDK libraries (AWSSDK.S3.dll etc) from GAC solved the problem for me.
Also installing the latest AWSSDK.core.dll to GAC can work.
Hope this info helps someone.
Solution here that worked for me :
https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-net/issues/1138
I have resolved this issue by uninstalling the latest one and installing this previous stable version of aws toolbar from visual studio update website(exact link https://aws.amazon.com/visualstudio where previous vsix downloaded).. if you cannot find the previous version here I added to my drive you can download.. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Fkrxmv-dM8fwGDjNqse1Ssdm0k3YYbcH
Once you install old extention, be sure to disable auto update extension in VS.

How to get EF6 to work with DB2 in Visual Studio 2017

I've read numerous articles and posts here about getting Entity Framework to work with DB2 but all of them reference prior versions of Visual Studio. When I repeat the steps outlined (too many to remember at this point), I still do not have DB2 in the data providers list.
Has anyone gotten this to work in VS17 and, if so, can you walk me through what you did?

Note: Make sure to download same version and fix pack of DS Driver and VS IBM Database Add-In. I downloaded v11.1.3fp3 version for both installations and it's working for me.

how to add mysql data source in visual studio 2012 express for web

i'm trying to add mysql connection to my asp.net mvc 4 projects but i dont see it on the data source window.
after installing visual studio 2012 express for web i added mysql Connector/Net through nuget. i wanted to add new connection to mysql db but i did see mysql data source on the data source window list. after a search i realized that i have v6.6.4 and it supported from 6.6.5 so i uninstalled it from nuget and install 6.6.5 from mysql website(a complete install). it didnt helped.. i also tried to uninstall and reinstall it but it didnt change a thing.
how can i solve this?
Adding Connector/NET thru nuget will not install any of the visual studio integration stuff, for that you will need to run the Connector/NET installer (available at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/).
However due to legal constraints from Microsoft, integration with Visual Studio express editions is not possible (you'll need a non express version of visual studio).
The problem is that its an express version.
i installed a non express version and it worked.

Unable to install Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition

I got a problem to install the visual web developer 2008 express edition. When I starting to install this application it start installing with visual c++ runtime prerequisites it process a minute or two after that it shows an error The folowing component could not be downloaded visual c++ runtime prerequisites I read an article regarding this at http://forums.asp.net/t/1487605.aspx
It says completely remove vwd 2005 before installing vwd 2008. I did it but it display same error I have net connection also. Where I am wrong to install the application. Please suggest to overcome this problem. Thanks
I would try installing it through Web Platform Installer. If 2008 isn't available anymore, just install 2010, which is fully backward compatible to .Net 3.5
