Visual Paradigm Data Flow Diagrams - visual-paradigm

Am trying to design a Data Flow Diagram for a system using Visual Paradigm Community Edition on Ubuntu 14.04 but can't seem to find Data Flow Diagram in the list of diagrams, any clue why since according to visual paradigm website, there should be a data flow diagram in the list of diagrams??

Data Flow Diagram is available in the Modeler (and any higher) Edition of Visual Paradigm. Since you are using the Community Edition, which is an edition below the Modeler Edition, you cannot create Data Flow Diagram there.
If you meant to evaluate this feature, try with their evaluation version instead. You can download it from their download page:
https://www.visual-paradigm.com/download/

This is how I do it in version 14.0, Modeller edition.

It is worth mentionning that the Data Flow Diagram is only available in Visual Paradigm from version 14 (as well as many other diagrams). You said you had Ubuntu 14.04 but in this case, only Visual Paradigm's version matters.
As shown as Pétur Ingi Egilsson's answer you can access it from the File menu but also in the standard list shown when doing Diagrams > New.

How to get a Call Hierarchy in VB .NET and Visual Studio Community Edition

Can anyone recommend a good tool for building a call hierarchy list?
I'm using VB .NET with Visual Studio Community Edition.
The Enterprise Edition has a tool available to do this, but that edition is not available to me.
The Call Hierarchy window only shows who calls you when using VB - it doesn't show who you call.
What I need to do is to select a Function or Sub and get a list of what it calls, and then what they call, and so on right down to the bottom of the hierarchy (ideally ignoring standard VB functions).
I want to pull some code out into a separate DLL but I need to know what must accompany it for it to compile and execute cleanly.
There are tools in Community edition, which can help you to do what you need:
Call Stack (runtime only)
Call Hierarchy
Find All References
Third party tools like CodeRush for Roslyn can do little more, like Debug Visualizer.

Setting up a Database Diagram in VS2012 & SSDT?

I'm working myself through this book called Head First C#.NET as I want to get into programming.
Basically the book was written for VS2010, but since my employer has bought me a MSDN License, I decided to go for VS2012 instead.
One of the assignments in the book is to create a local database, and make a database diagram for it. Unfortunately, this functionality has been removed from VS itself from VS2012 and upwards.
I've already googled it, and read that this was replaced by SSDT. Hence, I installed SSDT but I'm still not able to view and/or create a Database Diagram.
Is the "Diagram" functionality completely deprecated from 2012 and should I be looking at something complete different to get what I want / need?
According to this post, there is no diagram support in SSDT.

SQL Compact 4.0 Tools

Just want to find out if anyone has used or is currently using Sql Compact 4.0 for development. Basically we are looking for tools that can support the creation of change script similar to the one we have in Sql Server 2008 Management Studio.
If you are not sure what that feature is, basically whenever you make schema changes, you can simply generate the change script to be run elsewhere. I haven't come across any tools that can provide that kind of feature for Sql Compact 4.0.
Has anyone come across that kind of tool? If so, can you please let me know?
Thanks in advance.
You can use my SQL Server Compact Toolbox (VS add-in or standalone) http://sqlcetoolbox.codeplex.com to do schema diff scripting

Unit Testing & Bug Repo for Vb.Net 2005

Working on a company using the .Net Framework 2 (vb6 and vb.net 2005) and a very rudimentary sourceforge setup, I'm kindof at a loss when I was tasked to "...find a suitable Open Source Unit Testing & Bug Tracking system..." for the team. Those were my superior's exact words.
I know about the Team Foundation Server's capabilities, but the company doesn't want to adopt it and instead go for an open source solution. Any ideas on the best system which are compatible with the code used by the dev. team?
We too are using the .NET Framework 2 (VB.NET 2005) and have begun unit testing with the NUnit unit-testing framework (since our client is unwilling to pay for TFS, etc.)
You can find out more information here:

Hope that helps,

ORM/MDA/UML tool for VB6

I know of Rational Rose and we have got Rational Rose 6.
But I am looking for some other tools which are more usable, which do not complain that they are not running in Windows 98/2000 (when installed and run in WinXP) and has got better features as compared to Rational Rose 6.
Check out Enterprise Architect. It's not expensive and does a lot of things well.
This lists Visual Basic (as distinct from VB.Net) as supported.
Enterprise Architect does reverse engineering and code generation for VB6
I did check out Enterprise Architect on SpareX's web site but could not find any reference stating that it handles reverse engineering or code generation for VB6.
