Database connection error in Visual Studio 2013

I am using Visual Studio 2013 and have installed MS SQL Server 2014. I am trying to generate my database from a model (edmx) but I get the following error: Cannot
connect to <Database>. An incompatible SQL Server version was detected (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Tool.Sqleditor)
In the edmx.sql file, is written:
-- Entity Designer DDL Script for SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2012 and Azure
I can see that 2014 version is missing from this generated file, and seems that the program tries to connect to the 2012 version .. how can I avoid this and manage visual studio tu use the 2014 version of MS SQL Server? Thanks in advance
I already updated the SQL Server Data Tools to the newest version.

Hello,
Please read the following article:

Hope this helps.

Error during visual studio 2013 intallation on windows 8.1

After installing windows sdk 8.1, I've decided to install visual studio 2013,when it reached 70% of the installation process it stopped and told me that I have vGraphic data error(data redundancy) what is that??? and how can I fix it,this is the logs file:
vslogs

I found numerous instances of "Error 0x80070017: Failed attempt to copy payload" in your install log.
For the error code “-2147024873” which is 0x80070017, it means “Data error (cyclic redundancy check)”. I recommend you run the Chkdsk.exe tool to check
the disk for errors:
Click
Start, and then click Run.
Type
cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type
Chkdsk /f, and then press ENTER.
Press Y when you are prompted to check the disk next time that the system restarts.
Close all applications and restart the computer.
Note: During the restart process, Windows checks the disk for errors and then starts.

Library not registered error in Visual Studio 2013.

Whenever I attempt to build a solution, build multiple projects, or even run a program (with debugging) in visual studio 2013, I receive the error below.
"Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED))"
I have attempted to fix this by repairing my Visual Studio installation, but without success.
I believe the issue to be with Visual Studio itself, though, because this happens with every solution I have tried it with.
Any assistance in resolving this issue would be most appreciated.

Hi ndowney,
Based on your issue, could you please tell me if you install some other tools on your machine before you get the ""Library not registered" error?
(1) If yes, please you disable or un-install these tools and then build solution/project check this issue again.
(2)If no, to check if the issue is related to the VS IDE, please refer the following steps to check this error message.
(2.1) I suggest you could try the following commands to check if it is helpful.
a. Run devenv /Safemode to see if you can apply it correctly. This can eliminate the possibility that third party Add-ins or packages are causing problems.
b. Run devenv /Resetsettings to eliminate the cause of corrupted settings.
c. Run devenv /ResetSkipPkgs in Command Prompt.
If above still cannot work, try use this command again: devenv /resetsuerdata
(2.2) If the above suggestion still could not help you, maybe you will need to re-install the VS2013 and then check this issue again.
If you have any latest message about your issue, please tell me.

Thank you in advance.

Here are libraries http://1drv.ms/153lGSe

Hi,
And from the log message you offered, you get the following error message:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System._ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsProfileDataManager'
The
IVsProfileDataManager provides access to the profile manager and to programmatic control of settings. The error message turns out that you get a broken registration for IVsProfileDataManager.
Do you get any error message during the Visual Studio installation? You can use the
collect.exe tool to collect VS installation logs and upload the vslogs.cab file in the %temp% folder to the SkyDrive, then post back the link.
Thanks.

Deployment Error from Visual Studio 2013

I have been publishing my Azure web role and worker roles once or twice per week for the last year. 3 days ago I began getting this when publishing from VS:
8:44:19 AM - Checking for Remote Desktop certificate...
8:44:21 AM - Applying Diagnostics extension.
8:45:13 AM - The server encountered an internal error. Please retry the request.
Always the same three lines. I have tried 20x over the last 3 days. The only posts I can find that sound related deal with intermittent network issues. Since this has been going on for 3 days and I see no service issues listed on
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/, I do not think my problem is related to a network issue.
I am able to successfully package from VS, then publish via the Azure web portal.
Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot problems publishing? Thanks.

Sowmya,
I opened a support ticket but was told since it did not have to due with billing that they cannot help since I have not paid for technical support. Is there any way I can troubleshoot the problem that I am having? I generally solve things myself,
but since I am not getting any indication of what the problem is, I do not know where to look. Again I can manually package the solution, upload to BLOB storage, and update my cloud services through the control panel. So it is a fine workaround for now,
but it takes much longer than simply publishing from VS2013 which is what I had always done in the past. But now I get this "an internal error has occurred". It is hard to believe someone coded the system to even give such a useless message.
Any other options?
Thanks,
Denis

Cannot Connect to Azure SQL Database in Visual Studio 2013

Beyond Frustrated here.
I am trying to connect to an Azure SQL database - it has been created, has tables etc. I am trying to create a new Data Connection from within Visual Studio 2013, latest release for VS and Azure. I continue to receive the following error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
I have ensured that TCP is allowed and above Named Pipes in the Configuration Manager. The associated IP address is allowed on Azure Firewall. Certificate has been added to VS etc. But still no connection. I can see the database in the Azure section in Server
Explorer, but cannot add a Data Connection. What is equally as frustrating is I have a MacBook Pro running Win 7 sitting right next to my office computer and it can access Azure fine, not problems.
If anyone has any other ideas on how I might be able to solve this I would love to hear them. Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Hi,
The Error message "   A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is
configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53) "
The issue comes up mainly because the application is not able to connect to the server.
To resolve this issue, try the following steps (in that order):
Make sure that TCP IP is enabled as a client protocol on the application server. For more information on how to do this, see
Configure client protocols. On application servers where you do not have SQL Server tools installed, you can check this by running cliconfg.exe (SQL Server Client Network Utility).
2. Check the application’s connection string to make sure that it is correctly configured. For example, make sure that the connection string specifies the correct port (1433) and the fully qualified server name.
Note You can follow these steps to obtain the connection string from the Azure Management Portal:
                      Log on to the
Azure Management Portal.
                      In the left navigation pane, click
SQL Databases.
                      Select your Azure SQL Database server.
                      Click
Dashboard.
                      On the right side, go to the
quick glance section, and then click Show connection strings.
Test the connectivity between the application server and the Azure SQL database by using a UDL file, ping, and telnet. For more information about how to do this, see
Azure SQL Database connectivity troubleshooting guide and
Troubleshooting SQL Server connectivity issues.
Note As a troubleshooting step, you can also try to test the connectivity on a different client computer.
Try increasing the connection timeout. Microsoft recommends using a connection timeout of at least 30 seconds.
As a best practice ensure retry logic is in place. For more information about the retry logic, see
Azure SQL Database best practices to prevent request denials or connection termination.
      If these steps do not resolve your problem, follow the below steps to collect more data and contact support:
   If your application is a cloud service, enable the logging. This step returns a UTC time stamp of the failure. Additionally, SQL Azure returns the tracing ID.
Microsoft Customer Support Services can use this information.
   For more information about how to enable the logging, see
how to enable diagnostic logging for Azure Web sites and Developing SQL Database Applications section in
Azure SQL Database Development Considerations.
  Check out
the list of best practices for Connecting to Windows Azure SQL Database.

I don't know of a reason you posted your question in a Visual Basic forum. You should probably find a Visual Studio forum to post your question in.
However I've never tried to do what you want to do. But maybe these links can assist you.
Microsoft Language Interface Packs (LIPs) and Visual Studio
"When you install different language versions of Visual Studio on the same computer, you can only switch languages between matching editions. For example, if you have an English Express Edition installed, a German Express Edition installed, and a Professional
Edition installed, you can only switch languages for the Express Editions, not for the Professional Edition.
Starting with Visual Studio 2012, the Professional, Premium, and Ultimate products use a unified language pack. To install more than one language version of these products, you must install a full language product first and then install one or more language
packs." |||||||||| "NOTE: The Professional, Premium, and Ultimate products starting in Visual Studio 2012 don't support installing multiple language versions of the full language product on the same computer. After you install one

Hello,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because your issue is about website, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:

Sharepoint 2010 Remote Development using Visual Studio 2013 Connection Errors

I have a customer who is using a custom skinned site developed in Sharepoint 2010.
I am trying to debug a webpart that is not loading on a page.
My Environment:
Local Laptop running Win 7 64 Enterprise, Visual Studio 2013, and Sharepoint Designer 2010.
I connect to the customers network via VPN and use RDP to access the server. I have Admin rights to the server.
Everything that I have read indicates that Web Part dev has to be done in VS. When I try to connect using server explorer, VS kicks back a 'Server Can not be found' error.
I have tried using the computer name, the app url listed in SP Central Admin, the IP address of the box, and the actual URL of the site. However, VS can not connect to the server.
I have done some homework on connecting VS to a remote machine:

The last connection article is confusing because one of the SO answers indicates that you do not need to have SP2010 installed.
I have been doing lots of reading on SP structure, and it seems to jump all over the place. (Or at least my research does). I have been reading this Ebook:
SharePoint 2010 Development with Visual Studio 2010
http://books.google.com/books/about/SharePoint_2010_Development_with_Visual.html?id=TVKICs4vHTcC
My questions are:
Why cant I connect to the Server if I connected through VPN which would inherently make the server a local network computer?
Do I need to have VS installed on the actual server? I read that I can install Sharepoint Foundation locally and this will give me access to the server in VS.
Do I need to have the full version of VS installed in order to use Remote Tools?
For the Web Parts:
Why cant I see the web parts in Sharepoint Designer? I take it they are exclusively designed in VS, which brings me back to the questions above.
In Sharepoint Designer, I can see a custom view that was created from a custom list. I want to add that list to the page where the web part isnt working. When I open up the Edit Interface, and try to find that list, it does not display in the 'Lists and Libraries'
menu

Hello,
As per your description, remote deployment is not possible for server side code in sharepoint so if you are using server object model then you won't be able to debug or deploy your solution from visual studio.
VS is not required to installed on UAT/prod server but you need sharepoint along with visual studio in same development machine to develop any custom webpart.
Once you deploy your custom webpart on site then you will be able to see that webpart in webpart gallery and that gallery is also available in designer so it means you can also add your custom webpart from designer to any page.

SharePoint Connection not available with Visual Studio 2013

I've installed Visual Studio 2013 in my SharePoint 2010 environment. When I try to add the existing SharePoint Connections I've used in Visual Studio 2010 there is always the same error: Remote SharePoint site connections are not supported. The SharePoint
site is located at the same server, I'm able to access the Central Administration with Visual Studio 2013, but I can't access my development SharePoint Web Application.
I'm sure I do have access to the configuration database, in Visual Studio 2010 I'm able to delete and add SharePoint Connections without any problems. The URL of the development SharePoint connection (like sp1.sharepoint.contoso.com) is not named like
the URL of the Central Administration (like servername:5000). The port of my development SharePoint is 80, but I can't access with servername:80 too. My account is in the group of the local administrators, Visual Studio is started as Administrator
and my account is a SharePoint farm administrator and additionally a site collection administrator of all site collections in my SharePoint web application.
Any idea what's wrong with this SharePoint connections?
Thanks in advance. Georg

Can you try the following workaround and see if it helps? First try adding host entry for your server name and if that works change it to sp1.sharepoint.contoso.com.

I understand your situation is different than the one mentioned in the blog but given you seem to have all the permission so may be you try and see if the error is because of above issue. Actually if above does not work (assuming your are on your development

Visual studio 2013 cannot connect to SharePoint 2013 site

I am developing a SharePoint 2013 provider-hosted app (MVC web application). When I am trying to deploy the application on the SharePoint dev site, I am getting below
error :
Cannot connect to the SharePoint site: . Make sure that this is a valid URL and the SharePoint site is running on the local computer. If you moved this project to
a new computer or if the URL of the SharePoint site has changed since you created the project, update the Site URL property of the project.
I also checked the SharePoint site url is working in the browser on my development machine.
If any one of you have faced or/and resolved a problem like this one, please let me know.
Thanks.
Satish

Hi,
1. Please check if the Site URL is right in Visual Studio 2013 project.
2. Try to use the administrator account of the developer site to connect.
3. Reinstall Office Developer Tools.

Cannot connect to SharePoint online to create SharePoint App in Visual Studio 2013

I have an Office 365 account and I am trying to create a SharePoint App via Visual Studio 2013 Here are the steps:
1. Open VS 2013 and select Office/SharePoint > App for SharePoint (type the name) then click OK
2. I type in URL of the site (of course https://) and Select SharePoint-Hostedoption, then click Finish
3. I get the Office 365 authentication dialog box.
I type in the username and password and it opens the SharePoint in the same rectangular dialog box and it stays there and nothing happens:

If I click the close icon on the Connect to SharePoint dialog box that still shows my SharePoint online site, I get the following error :

If I click on OK I get the Connect to SharePoint dialog box again

What could the problem be?

Hi,
The following steps for your reference:
1. Grant DOMAIN\myApp_Admin accont a sysadmin server role on SQL server
2. Open SharePoint Power Shell and execute Add-SPShellAdmin <DOMAIN\myApp_Admin> command.
3. Grant DOMAIN\myApp_Admin a db_owner rights to web application Content database that you would like to use for debugging SharePoint 2013 app.
4. Make sure following roles are assigned for SharePoint_Config database

Disable CRL checking for Visual Studio 2013 Installation on Domain Server with No Internet Connection

Hello,
I am having trouble installing certain packages that are digitally signed in the Visual Studio 2013 installation process. There's an attempt to determine whether or not a certificate has been revoked or not, and crl.microsoft.com is not available on the
server in question and therefore the certificate fails this test. The packages as a result fail to install and each has the following reason "A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority." So the VS 2013 installation completes
yet SSDT and a few other packages are not installed.
There must be a way to install VS 2013 on a server without access to the Internet. The server is Windows Server 2008 R2 and is joined to a domain. Does anyone know how?
Thank you.

Can you check the signature and confirm that the chain is complete? My guess is that the problem is not in revocation checking, but in chain building.

I think you are correct. Thanks. There were revocation errors continuously (events 42, 41, 11, 10, and 40) but when I went and looked at the packages that failed in the ISO and right-clicked on them in Windows Explorer, then navigated to the Digital Signature
tab and viewed the certificate I noticed that the root cert Microsoft Root Certificate Authority 2011 was not installed on the server. I found a Microsoft KB download that had the 2010 and 2011 MS Root certs in it (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6149)
and installed it. This installed WAY too many root certs of different CAs. Though I'm in the process of reinstalling VS 2013 and I think it will work now.
Is there a way to do this in a more deliberate fashion? How would I go about assessing each packages' certificate that failed and determining the chain of certs I need to build, then downloading these certs, and then testing them? The least
privilege, or fewest certificates way...
Thank you.
