I've worked on an SSIS project in Visual Studio 2012 for a while. Recently, when I tried to modify it, the following error message shown on a "Data Flow Task":
"The task has failed to load". And I cannot find "Data Flow Task" item in SSIS Toolbox. When I tried to add a Data Flow Task on the canvas, got the error message below:
Registration information about the Data Flow task could not be
retrieved. Confirm that this task is installed properly on the
computer. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: TaskHost
"{5918251B-2970-45A4-AB5F-01C3C588FE5A}"' is not installed correctly
on this computer. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design)
Any help and suggestion will be appreciated very much!

I installed Team Foundation Server Express 2012 on a windows 8.1 machine and was connecting to it via another Visual Studio 2013 on another windows 8.1 machine for my personal development projects. However recently I am unable to connect to TFS and I have no idea why. TFS appears to be running -- i just am unable to connect to it. I removed the server from Visual Studio and attempt to re-add it and get a TF31002. Any ideas on how to diagnose this issue?
I have updated visual studio 2012 last night, this was Visual Studio 2012 Update 4. It was working fine before but now i am unable to connect with tfs server. Please let me know what i am doing wrong?
This is the error:
TF400324: Team Foundation services are not available from server https://myServer.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection.
Technical information (for administrator):
Unable to connect to the remote server
try clearing your cache folder?
C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation
TFS3 is VS2010, TFS4 is VS2012, TFS5 is VS2013
Stop all instances of Visual Studio.
Zip/Rar all the files as a backup, then delete all files except for the backup zip/rar.
Restart Visual Studio and it will recreate all the files and you should be able to connect as shown here:
I followed this steps to get rid of this issue:
Close all instances of Visual Studio.
Open the Task Manager and check if any TFS Services are running. Select each of them and click on End Process Tree.
Browse to the folder below and delete all the contents and folders in
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\4.0\Cache
and in
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\5.0\Cache
Restart Visual Studio and try triggering build.
If you are switching from one version of TFS to another, you may require repeating this solution again. If you are using older version of TFS, you may have to navigate to
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\
and find out the version folder instead of navigating directly. It would be
TFS3 if using VS2010, TFS4 if using VS2012, TFS5 if using VS2013.

In my case clearing of cache folders didn't work out.
What I also did is enabling SSL in IIS for Team Foundation Server.
Hopefully, StartSSL.com can offer it for free.
Step by step:
On server side:
Cleare cache folders like it described above;
Get the SSL following procedure described here;
Enable SSL for Team foundation server in IIS (netmgr);
Check if your TFS server is available over https (check link https://tfs.your-server, the certificate should be valid and page opened without any warnings);
On client side:
Remove all TFS servers in Visual Studio;
Add your TFS server connection with HTTPS (not HTTP).
Now you are able to work with VS-TFS link.
If the above methods don't work, and in the Output tab shows you have to contact the server administrator, then the TFS is actually down and you are disconnected to it.
I know this is an old thread but the problem still appeared in VS 2013 and TFS 2013.
In my case the IIS on the server side was not running. After starting it VS could immediate connect again.
Don't know what happened but for some reason MS Visual Studio is no longer letting me to add or edit tables in Sever Explorer. When I right click on the "Tables" the only options I got are; refresh and properties. I tried re-installing MS Visual Studio and SQL Express Server but still having that same problem. Have no idea what else to do. I'm logged in as an Administrator on my computer.

You need to install SQL Server Data Tools. I had the same problem and the option apppeared after I installed SQL Server Data Tools.
I am having trouble connecting to TFS on my Azure development machine. The connection issue started happening this morning. Prior to today, it had been working perfectly. This is my work's TFS server which I know I have access to and that my credentials are valid and working. I have confirmed this by connecting to TFS via a web browser and on other machines via Visual Studio 2012. Only the Azure box seems to be affected.
Details about the machine:
Windows Server 2008
SQL Server 2012
VS2012 w/update 3
IE10
I have tried connecting on and off the work VPN, with the http and https endpoints that are available.
Here are the steps I have taken to try to remedy the issue:
Updated VS2012 to update 3
Cleared all cache and stored passwords in IE10
Reset IE10 to default settings
Cleared all TFS stored credentials in the windows credential manager
Cleared all Visual Studio cache files - TFS cache, VS cache, etc...
basically the steps in this link
Reboot the VM multiple times
Verified that I can access TFS through IE10 successfully on the VM
None of these had any effect. No matter what I do it seems that I cannot get a connection to TFS through VS2012. It keeps giving me the unauthorized / access denied errors.
Any more ideas of what to try? This was just working yesterday. The ONLY changes since yesterday are:
Installation of some office applications - onenote, word, excel, etc.
(it was working in conjunction with these changes yesterday)
Update 3 installed for VS2012
Thanks!
EDIT:
This is getting more interesting. It seems to be a bug with Visual Studio 2012. After submitting a ticket to my support team at work, I discovered that another coworker submitted a ticket with the exact same issue. His connection stopped working yesterday morning as well. He was also on an Azure VM running Server 2008 w/ Visual Studio 2012.
So after putting our heads together for about an hour and getting nowhere, I spun up another Azure VM to check the issue there. This time I created a Server 2012 w/ Visual Studio 2013 preview image. The connection to TFS worked on the first attempt.
This led us to try installing VS2013 preview on our VMs that were experiencing the issue. For both of us, after installing 2013, we were able to connect! What's really strange is that now VS2012 is working again as well... which is great, but I still have no idea what caused it.
When we were experiencing the problem, we had our IT support guy monitor the TFS build server AND the firewall that sits in front of it when we attempted to log in. He saw no login attempts getting through. So when it wasn't working, it appeared as though Visual Studio never even issued the login attempt to the server.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? A bug in Visual Studio maybe? Or perhaps a windows update that affected me and my coworker at the same time? I can't think that the timing of this was a coincidence...
