Cant see Mysql data source at the add connect to database - asp.net-4.0

I have visual web developer 2010 express and mysql/connector 6.4.3
When I press on the database explorer tab -> connect to database, I need to choose data source but I dont see mysql data source as I shold.
I've tried to reinstall it..
I have both visual studio 2008 and visual web developer 2010 express.
Btw, during the mysql/connector I only saw that he configured vs2008..
How can I fix that?
p.s.
I saw here that its not supported, is it true??
Thanks.

This is an old, but to answer your question I was having the same issue until I tried it on the ultimate version. It picks it right up. You just need to re-install the connector.
So short answer, yes. :(

Install Microsoft SQL Server 2012 express edition

I tried to install MS SQL server, yesterday on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS machine, following the instructions provided in a PDF by a company that has done it before.
Everything seemed to say it installed ok. However it didn't seem to install SQL Server Management Studio which is used for a lot of the exercises I am required to do and quite useful in general.
Has this happened to anybody else. Has anyone got any advice for what I can do to fix this.
I did notice that my machine seems to have MS SQL Server 2008 for some reason, I think it must have already been there and is conflicting, perhaps I should uninstall it. What do you think?
I hope you's can help.
Thanks

I'm guessing you downloaded and installed only the db, and not the one with "Tools". The Tools is the one that includes SSMS. No worries you can go here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062 and download the Tools separately and install it. Expanded the "Details" of the page and this will let you know about the different files you can download.

"Add new table" option missing - Visual Studio 2015

I'm working on Visual Studio 2015 and whenever I try to add a table from the server explorer menu, it only shows two options Properties and Refresh.
There have been answers for this problem, but I have already tried them, like, adding SQL data tools and repairing visual studio.
SQL data tools were already installed and even after repairing the problem persists.
So please suggest me how can I add tables to the database.
Thanks for the comments, but i solved the problem.
Open the command prompt and type the command:
C:\sqllocaldb create "MyInstance"
MyInstance refers to your sql server instance, it can be v11.0 but for me it was mssqllocaldb .
If it runs successfully, it will show you result stating 'Instance created' and you will be able to add the tables.
But if you get error regarding creation of instance then delete the instance by typing the command in command prompt:
C:\sqllocaldb delete "MyInstance"
and then create the instance.
I hope this helps.
Close your visual studio.
Download SQL Server Data Tools
Install it in your pc
Then Close if successfully installation.
Now Open your visual studio.
Hope this will help.
Enjoy :)
Another reason "Add New table" Not showing is you don't have installed SQL server Data Tools.So just go ahed and downlaods SQL server data tool ISO from official Website

Visual studio 2013 database publish do nothing

I'm trying to publish a DB project in Visual Studio 2013 Professional and the "Publish" button do nothing.
In project properties I checked "Create script (.sql file)". I right click the project name in solution explorer > Publish... > Load Profile (a profile that works for my colleagues) > Publish
Nothing Happens, not an error, warning or anything (same with "Generate Scripts" button).
Visual studio error logs say nothing and I tried to restart the PC, Visual studio and SQL server.
Thank you!
If you have an Azure Cloud Explorer window open in Visual Studio (could be table, blob or queue), that leads to the Publish of an SSDT project hanging.
Close the window and start a new Publish operation. It may take a little longer than usual but eventually that will progress and you'll be able to close Visual Studio as normal.
Thanks to Noel Abrahams for his comment that led to this answer.
EDIT: putting it here as an answer so that it can be more easily found but credit goes to Noel.
Found a fix on the MS Connect site.
In my publish profile I had set the connection string as so:
<TargetConnectionString>Data Source=.\sql2008r2;Integrated Security=SSPI;</TargetConnectionString>
According to the comments on Connect, it doesn't like Integrated Security=SSPI. Instead you should use Integrated Security=True;:
<TargetConnectionString>Data Source=.\sql2008r2;Integrated Security=True;</TargetConnectionString>
Then it all works fine.
I cloned the solution from VCS to a new directory and only this helped.
Other symptoms that I had with this issue:
While editing a table .sql script, Design pane didn't work.
Integrated Security=True; was set in my publishing profile. So Rhumborl's answer is not about my case.
If the solution folder is copied to another machine the issue is reproduced there too.
I tried to Clean Solution before re-cloning, but it didn't work.
For me publishing the database project to a new sql server database with a different name allowed the publish to proceed. Once I'd done that I was then able to publish to the original database again.
I found that having an Azure Queue or Blob Storage opened in Visual Studio Professional 2015 meant that clicking Publish did nothing and I couldn't close the application. After closing those windows which I had launched from the Cloud Explorer, I had to click Publish once again to kick it off. A strange bug.

Integrate Visual Basic 2010 Express with Team Foundation Server?

I've used MS Visual Basic 2010 Express to build a very simple VB.Net Windows app. I need to check the code into our Team Foundation Server Source Control. Is there a TFS plug-in for VB Express? If not, do I need to check the code in manually?
You will have to do it manually as stated here .
Given my experience with TFS I would check the code in manually. Package it all up nicely and get one changeset for the lot.
TFS isn't supported in any of the express editions of Visual Studio. I'm not sure if TFS is integrated into Windows Explorer for manually updates and commits. Other with experience would need to comment.

Pb for installing SQL Server Express Management Studio 2008

Each time I launch the install, it launches the SQL Server Express 2008 panel instead of Management Studio why ?
Ok, I just need to vent little bit and add myself to the list of angry users.
Why they went ahead and messed up the SQL installer is beyond me.
Took me 1+ hour to install SSMS because TO ADD A FEATURE you must select PERFORM A NEW INSTALLATION grrr....
Anyway, a good step-by-step with images (that saved my day) can be found http://www.asql.biz/Articoli/SQLX08/Art3_1.aspx#SSMSonSQLX
You need to follow the same steps when installing Studio Express as you would to install Sql Express (or a new instance of):
Installation > New Sql Server standalone... > click OK/NEXT until you're sick of it > Perform a new installation of.... > OK/NEXT a few more times > and there it is, "Management Tools - Basic"!
MS recommended best practices installer workflow (ya know, MSRBPIWF ;)
Just go to Installation -> New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation -> Add features to an existing instance. If You downloaded Management Studio installation, you'll have option with it. It is really dumb that You have to do it this way, but that is how it works:)
It is weird and I think the whole installation needs to be re done, (im having my own issues with it right now!)
I just installed management studio express on top of my SQL express 2008 installation and I had to do it by selecting a new installation / instance at the selection screen. If you select modify a existing installation, it only shows the components already installed.
When you do this, it only installs the management studio - nothing else despite it looking like it will from the selection screen.
maybe you've not installed all the components n driver it requires, have you?
