I have a custom SSRS Data Processing Extension and an associated custom query designer that was created for SSRS 2008 R2. I am attempting to get this to work with SSRS 2012.
My custom query designer implements the IQueryDesigner interface found in Microsoft.ReportingServices.QueryDesigners.dll. This DLL can be found in the Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2012 folder, depending on which version of the BI tools are installed.
e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies" for Visual Studio 2012.
In SSRS 2012 the Data Processing Extension works fine but the query designer does not.
It seems that although SSRS 2012 extensions require .NET 3.5, the IQueryDesigner interface requires .NET 4.
For example, if I create a Class Library project with a Target Framework of ".NET Framework 3.5", then reference Microsoft.ReportingServices.QueryDesigners.dll, I am unable to build.
If I change the Target Framework to ".NET Framework 4" I can then build, but the resulting DLL does not work in SSRS 2012.
Does anyone have ideas what I might be doing wrong? Or perhaps implementing IQueryDesigner simply no longer works as of SSRS 2012?
UPDATE: I resolved this issue by creating two DLLs. The first implements the Data Processing Extension and is built using .NET 3.5. The second implements the IQueryDesigner interface and is built using .NET 4.

I created a fetchxml report in VS2015 which I need to open in VS2012. When I try opening the solution I get an error error : There is an error in XML document (33, 10).
The Report Extension (required to build FetchXML reports) is now compatible with Visual Studio 2012.
SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 must be installed, together with .NET Framework 4.5.2
For more refer this document.
I tried to open in Visual Studio 2012 a VS 2010 solution and I get these error:
Unable to read the project file "Language.vcxproj".
D:...\Language\Language.vcxproj(2,33): The tools version "4.0" is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "2.0".
It has something to do with the ToolsVersion attribute:
I believe this may be something with target platform settings, or with the version of the .NET framework, or with the version of the C++ compiler.
BTW, this also happens with .csproj files contained on other solutions I have.
What annoys me more is that I have a colleague that can open those solutions in his computer without any problem and I can not.
In the Control Panel, I have this items for the .NET framework:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 Multi-Targeting Pack
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 SDK
Help, please!
When I open a visual studio 2008 vsewss 1.3 sharepoint project in visual studio 2010 and run the conversion wizard I get the error "The project type is not supported by this installation".
I have installed the visual studio 2010 SDK, vsewss 1.3, and tried on 3 different machines using different accounts. I've installed vs 2010 service pack 1 where an internet connection is available and run repair/reinstall more than once to ensure vs 2010 installed correctly. Short of sacrificing a goat to the great satan / sharepoint's birth mother I'm out of ideas
The ProjectTypeGuids are sharepoint C# and windows C#:
{593B0543-81F6-4436-BA1E-4747859CAAE2};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}
Any suggestions as to what else "The project type is not supported by this installation" might mean are greatly appreciated
You need to install Visual Studio 2008 extensions for SharePoint to get the SharePoint project type:

I want to use SSIS /BIDS project in Visual Studio 2012.
I have both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed along with Microsoft SQL
Server 2012.
VS 2010 was installed first followed by MS SQL 2012 which got me BIDS integrated with VS 2010.
However I cannot seem to find any help on integrating BIDS with VS 2012.
I came across few question on SO related to this topic but all of them had integration with 2010 and not 2012.
I know that with MS SQL 2012 I get a SQL Server Data Tool. Does this mean that Visual Studio 2012 and BIDS cannot be integrated ?
Solution 2012:
I had to update the solution here since one of the answers I received partially solved the issue. The Answer provided by did solve the issue #user2141936 but I kept on getting an BlockMixedArchitectureInstall error while updating an existing instance.
It worked without with creating a new instance!!
Side Note :
Installing the update broken my publishing database project onto 2012 server. You need to download and install a DACFramework patch for it.
Solution 2013:

Welcome to Microsoft Marketing Speak hell. With the 2012 release of SQL Server, the BIDS, Business Intelligence Designer Studio, plugin for Visual Studio was renamed to SSDT, SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT is available for 2010 and 2012. The problem is, there are two different products called SSDT.
There is SSDT which replaces the database designer thing which was called Data Dude in VS 2008 and in 2010 became database projects. That a free install and if you snag the web installer, that's what you get when you install SSDT. It puts the correct project templates and such into Visual Studio.
There's also the SSDT which is the "BIDS" replacement for developing SSIS, SSRS and SSAS stuff. As of March 2013, it is now available for the 2012 release of Visual Studio. The download is labeled SSDTBI_VS2012_X86.msi Perhaps that's a signal on how the product is going to be referred to in marketing materials. Download links are
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2012)
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2014)
None the less, we have Business Intelligence projects available to us in Visual Studio 2012. And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals
Today March 6, 2013, Microsoft released SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSDT BI) templates. With SSDT BI for Visual Studio 2012 you can develop and deploy SQL Server Business intelligence projects. Projects created in Visual Studio 2010 can be opened in Visual Studio 2012 and the other way around without upgrading or downgrading – it just works.
The download/install is named to ensure you get the SSDT templates that contain the Business Intelligence projects. The setup for these tools is now available from the web and can be downloaded in multiple languages right here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=36843
First Off, I object to this other question regarding Visual Studio 2015 as a duplicate question. How do I open SSRS (.rptproj) and SSIS (.dtproj) files in Visual Studio 2015? [duplicate]
Basically this question has the title ...Visual Studio 2012 / 2013 What about ALL the improvements and changes to VS 2015 ??? SSDT has been updated and changed. The entire way of doing various additions and updates is different.
So having vented / rant - I did open a VS 2015 update 2 instance and proceeded to open an existing solution that include a .rptproj project. Now this computer does not yet have sql server installed on it yet.
Solution for ME : Tools --> Extension and Updates --> Updates --> sql server tooling updates
Click on Update button and wait a long time and SSDT then installs and close visual studio 2015 and re-open and it works for me.
In case it is NOT found in VS 2015 for some reason : scroll to the bottom, pick your language iso https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I got SQL Server 2012 installed on my machine and I have SSDT to create BI projects.
Today i installed Visual Studio 2012; but i cannot create any of BI projects in Visual Studio 2012. Is there a way I can open BI (SSIS/SSAS/SSRS) projects in VS 2012 or should i have to always go back to SSDT to open them.
SSRS development functionality became available for Visual Studio 2012 in March 2013. And Microsoft started to distinguish between SSDT and SSDT-BI (which contains the BI tools). They are complementary installations, and both must be installed for Visual Studio to be happy working with SSRS reports.
The components needed for SSRS development are as follows:
Download SSDT for Visual Studio 2012
Download SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012
Download Data-Tier Application Framework (March 2013)
Check out this blog post. Basically, there are two versions of SSDT (even though Microsoft doesn't ever explicitly state this), and depending on how you installed SSDT, you get one or the other version. As a further note, SSDT will only work with BIDS in SQL Server 2012, not 2008R2.
In addition to this, only SQL Server Data Tools 2010/VS2010 has access to the entire BI suite. This is not yet available for VS2012/SQL Server Data Tools 2012, which only has access to the SQL Database project. Fortunately (or maybe not), both can be installed to the same system without systemic conflict. As to your mental conflict, your mileage may vary.
It is available now as an additional download at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36843
