Where is SQL Server CE 4.0 data provider for Visual studio?
I want to use SQL Server CE 4.0 with Entity Framework. I have installed all packages but it's missed in list of available providers for EF?
Is it supposed to be so, or I miss something?
Probably need the SQL Server Compact 4 tools installed as well, if it did not install directly when Visual Studio 2010 SP1 was installed, you can install it. I had to do this myself.

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?
For registering IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio 17, Visual Studio 2015 or earlier supported versions needs to be installed on the machine.
Steps:
Download and install IBM Data Server Driver Package
Download and install IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio.
After successful installation of IBM Database Add-Ins, choose Start -> IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio ->Register IBM Database Add-Ins.
This link has listed the steps needed for the add-in installation

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.
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.
I have started working on SSRS and I have installed SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition and already installed Visual Studio 2010. When i am opening VS2010 in that case i didn't seen Business intelligence Projects -> Report Server Project but whenever i am opening SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio under Microsoft SQL Server 2008 it shows in the new project wizard. My current project is in 4.0 and i have worked on that project using VS2010. How can Report Server Project show in VS2010?
SQL Server 2008 only uses a VS2008 shell. As Pratik says, you do need to use the SQL Server Setup and install the Business Intelligence Development Studio feature to install the VS2008 shell. You will not be able to use VS2010 to create your report server project until you upgrade to SQL Server 2012.
Gaurav you need to install the business intelligence development studio also to see the Report server project templates.

I'm trying to use the Visual Studio 2010 Express editions to set up an ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Application using SqlExpress + Entity Framework as the data access. I have both the "C# Edition" and "Web Developer Edition" installed.
If I try to add a data source using the "C# edition", I'm missing the "Microsoft SQL Server" data source type.

but Visual Studio 2008 Professional has it.

as noted by another StackOverflow question, the "Web Developer Edition" has this. However, the Web Developer Edition doesn't support the Entity Framework items:

I'd want to stick with only the Express Editions. Is my use case one that Microsoft forgot about? What can I do here to use SqlExpress + MVC 2 + Entity Framework?
Thanks!

You should be able to select SQL Server Database File, then change the connection string to connect to SqlExpress.
I just ran into this same problem. Visual Studio C# Express 2010 SP1 only offers me Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 and Microsoft SQL Server Database File when creating or updating ADO.NET Entity Data Model (*.edmx) files.
However my copy of Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express SP1 is allowing me to add and update ADO.NET Entity Data Model (*.edmx) files in existing solutions and is allowing me to choose the Microsoft SQL Server option when building connection strings.
So the workaround for me is to simply switch between C# & Web Developer when messing with connection strings. Not sure if that's out-of-the-box for everybody or whether I've installed something else that switched the Microsoft SQL Server option on in Web Developer.
Well, the question is pretty much in the title. I've just installed Visual Studio SP1, and now when I want to import a Entity Model from a database, it doesn't display the SQL Anywhere provider anymore.
Does anyone know if there is a patch or some way to make it work with SP1?
Thanks.
There is a post on the ASP.NET Team blog that it will be available in Q3-Q4 of 2008. So I guess SP1 does need a new version of SQL Anywhere component.
Did you try to reinstall the integration component just in case?
try to install lastest build of SA. And you need to install it after SP1.
I had the same issue and did the following:
Control Panel -> Uninstall a program
Selected SQL Anywhere 12 - Client an clicked Repair. This made me unable to connect to any database from Sybase Central with an error message about JDBC.
Selected SQL Anywhere 12 and clicked Repair.
After that the provider showed up in Visual Studio and I was able to create a new connection to create an Entity Framework model.
