Visual Studio 2013 DataSource issue: Not pointing to right server

Doing some work for college. I have been given a starting point in an application, expected to finish it. Not an issue.
The data source that is attached to the application points to the wrong server, and I can't for the life of me change where it's points (SQL2008EXPRESS as opposed to my server which is simply SQLEXPRESS). I'd gladly just create a new data source
and code it up, but, there's a few table adapters already in it that I don't know how they are set up, nor can I edit them to copy the information to move them over. 
I can't run my application because the data source can't connect. I can't change the data source. I can't create a new data source.
How do I proceed? My instructor has been of no help for the entire class.. and has given simply a dumb response to my question to him. Thanks.

Hello,

  • SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) and SSIS on SQL Server 2012

    This great blog entry titled
    SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI), link below, highlights the lack of support for SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012, VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013. I see there is a new version
    on SSDT BI for VS 2013 (12.0.2430.0, File Name: SSDTBI_x86_ENU.exe, Date Published: 10/27/2014) link below.
    Does this version support SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012 using VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013?

    Hi cjrinpdx,
    According to the picture, it seems that we can use SSIS 2012 support is not included in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And based on the previous versions, SSIS always different from SSRS, SSAS.
    SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server as follows:
    SSAS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
    SSRS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
    SSIS project can target only SQL 2012

  • Visual Studio 2013 WP Emulator not working after adding more RAM

    After a few days I installed VS 2013 on my laptop which had 3GB RAM and got notified by visual studio that I need at least 4 GB for hardware virtualization. Now I have 6GB RAM and Hyper-V restarted and VS still doesn't recognize my new RAM and doesn't give
    me an option to run the WP emulator.
    Did any of you had a problem/solution with this?

    Run MSInfo32.exe and post the System Summary results.
    Also check them against the system requirements for Windows Phone emulators:

  • Visual studio 2013: Contract.Assume not generating exception at runtime?

    Hello guys.
    I must be missing something, but just can't see what. I'm creating a new assembly with .net 4.5.2 and I've enabled code contracts by going to the project properties and by doing the following:
    * set assembly mode to standard contract requires
    * enabled perform runtime contract checking
    * chose option full on the combo
    * and chose the build option from the contract reference assembly at the end of the page
    Then, I've added the folloowing to an existing class:
    namespace Domain.Persistence {
        public abstract class ValueObject : Base {
            protected ValueObject() {
                var anyInvalidProps = GetType().GetProperties()
                    .Where(p => Attribute.IsDefined(p, typeof (DomainSignatureAttribute), true))
                    .Any();
                Contract.Assume(!anyInvalidProps);
    While running my unit tests, I don't end up getting an exception (even when the condition is false!). Any clues on what I'm missing?

    Solved it: had set the only public surface contracts checkbox by mistake and the cosntructor was protected...

  • Conflict between refeneces in Lightswitch\ and Silverlight\ after update to Visual Studio 2013 12.0.40302.00 and SQL Server Data Tools 12.0.50226.0

    After updating VS and SSDT there began a conflict with references in two directories under the SDKs folder (Lightswitch and Silverlight):
    Error 91
    The type 'System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceCollection<T>' exists in both '
    ...\Microsoft SDKs\LightSwitch\v4.5\Client\Microsoft.Data.Services.Client.SL.dll' and 'both '
    ...\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\Libraries\Client\System.Data.Services.Client.dll'
    ...\SPDCDataObjectContext.cs 1478
    52 Spac.DesktopClient
    I thought since the Lightswitch directory was newer that I would comment out the Silverlight directory and see how far that would get me. Now I get:
    Error 16
    The type or namespace name 'Composition' does not exist in the namespace 'System.ComponentModel' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
    ...\Spac.DesktopClient\GeneratedArtifacts\ApplicationGenerated.cs
    13 36
    Spac.DesktopClient
    How do I handle the original conflict between refeneces in Lightswitch\ and Silverlight\ ?
    Scott Mitchell

    Thank you. Yes that resolves the conflict but leaves some missing references like the "Composition"
    reference above. I was able to get past that by adding System.ComponentModel.Composition. This is after installing the VS 2013 update 4 build.
    Now I get the following. I'm concerned that I'm taking references from both Lightswitch and Silverlight
    sdk's just to get it to build. These references are required because of the auto generated code. I must have something quirked. Anyway what about System.Data.Common.DbConnection? How can I get it without
    referencing System.Data?
    Error 2
    The type 'System.Data.Common.DbConnection' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Data, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

  • How to configure a proxy server for Windows Azure Tools in Visual Studio 2013

    Hi Visual Studio/Azure Tools team
    I would like to use the Windows Azure tools in Visual Studio 2013 to manage my Azure Web sites (Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Web Sites) from within my corporate network which is secured using a proxy server. Unfortunately, I am not able to use
    the Windows Azure tools since the required HTTPS connection to windows azure is not going through the default configured proxy. Instead, Visual Studio tries directly to connect to port 443 which is blocked by our corporate firewall (and yes: there is no way
    around using our proxy server). Other visual studio features like NuGet, updates, etc. work fine and use the configured proxy server. 
    So my question: How can I configure visual studio respective its Azure tools to use a proxy server instead of a direct connection? I already tried configuring the proxy server within the file devenv.exe.config but this doesn't show any effect for Windows Azure
    tools.
    Regards
    tschaena

    As we have very similar problems I consider the found solution a work arround an existing problem which will not work if corporate FW policy does not allow such changes.
    In my mind, any tools in charge of dealing with some sort of FW protocols should deliver the following information, should make it absolute clear how to setup that the request packages are setup rigth at the first time.
    a) proxy server
    b) proxy port
    c) proxy user
    d) proxy users-password
    e) proxy.auth.Preference="BASIC"
    And for moste tools (including Visual Studio and AZUR Tools) it is absolut unclear
    a) how to setup that on a per tools basis
    b) OR who inherits this information from whom    i.e. use the same as IE does, what if we use FireFox or any other browsers?
    I understand that developers requested to cure such problem areas will often have difficulty to gain all required elemenst used to realy test the solution.
    But I can tell you: I loos more time figthing down the FW setups for my clients. WHat I do at home in a sniff, takes ages to be realised by all the various clients on the market where each has to deliver the same sort of information but actually does not,
    or has it just somewhere, but not in the vicinity of the demanding user.
    Good examples i.e. NetBeans IDE where the Option Menu shows very clearly what information is required to pass through a FW/Proxy; but even there, the hint to start with a BASIC authentication schema is not part of this OPTION menu and must be added a JAVA
    environment value. But at least, it works.

  • Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows - InitializeComponent() does not contain a definition issue

    Hi,
    I have recently downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows (Windows Store App version), with Update 1.
    I create a blank app. I right-click on InitializeComponent() in the MainPage.xaml.cs and select Go To Definition. It brings me to the .g.i.cs file where this method resides.
    I go into the designer for MainPage.xaml and create a grid of 2 rows and 2 columns (all at 1*). I add one button, doesn't matter where. I double click on that button to add a click method to MainPage.xaml.cs. Without entering anything into the button click
    method, I scroll up and InitializeComponent() has an error and tells me there is not definition, even though I was looking at the definition a minute ago. I found I could unload the project and reload it and InitializeComponent() would have the definition
    in the .g.i.cs file but as soon as I add another button click or anything else I run into the same error. It seems as if the .g.i.cs file is not automatically regenerating, or it is being deleted all together when the button click method is added to the xaml.cs
    file.
    Everything I have done up to this point is very vanilla. I installed VS '13 Express for Windows, didn't change any VS setting, created a project and ran into this issue. I installed Update 1 thinking there might be a fix from the update--no luck. The xaml
    file Build Action is Page and the Xaml.cs file is Compile.
    I have tried deleting the MainPage.xaml file, after the creation of a project, and adding a new MainPage file with the added templates VS wants to include, and I still run into the same issue.
    I have searched for answers the past few days but haven't found anything that addresses my issue (most of what I found addresses VS '10 but their InitializeComponent() issues aren't the same as mine). Any help the MSDN community can provide would be
    a great help. If worst comes to worst, I will re-install VS and see if that corrects it--this would be a last-ditch effort though.
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

    Intellisense has a bug in VS2013 where it doesn't recognize InitializeComponent when you start working on the XAML.  My feeling is that if you try to compile this app, it will run fine (as long as there are no actual errors).

    If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
    NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
    objects and unknown namespaces.

    Visual Studio 2013 Setup and Installation gets stuck at system restore point. what are the issues?, help me out ASAP

    Hello nitinrathod29,
    There are some possible fixes for this issue.
    Please check the following thread:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/47bc6990-00f2-4d85-b3f8-9de03c637f43/visual-studio-2013-update-2rc-stucks-on-creating-system-restore?forum=vssetup

    So here are them:
    1. Check if you have any software which may prevent the installer from running. For example, Windows Defender or any other software which may restrict your permissions.
    2. Just start the computer.
    3. Run the setup as admin.
    4. Check your UAC permissions.
    Best regards,

    Hi Suvy,
    From your description, could you please tell me how you renew your developer license for Windows 8.1 from Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition?
    Generally, we can renew the developer license by going to PROJECT->Store->Acquire Development License… like the following screen shot.
    In addition, as you said that you get the error in the 'contacting license server' stage for too long and eventually doesn't proceed further.
    You mean that you did not get the developer license window which requires input the Microsoft account like the following screen shot, am I right?
    If yes, as you said that the Avast antivirus installed and running. I suggest you can try to disable or un-install it check if it can work.
    To make sure that it is not your VS IDE issue, please reset your VS settings, and then run it as the admin, test it again.
    You can also try to run your VS in safe mode to make sure that it is not the add-ins or the extension tools’ issue.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
    In addition, I got different ways to get a developer license, maybe you could check it here:

  • 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 does not rebuild all code resulting in old code deployed through wsp

    I recently converted my SharePoint 2010 project from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2013. I have the Premium version with Update 1.
    I quickly noticed that 2013 has bugs. For instance I could get a build error out of nowhere while developing, stating that a method recently added to Class
    A used by Class B, does not exist. The only way to resolve is to restart Visual Studio. Sometimes a rebuild would do the trick too.
    I can live with such quirks as a developer. The big problem is that it does not build the latest version if you are using the "Publish to File System"
    to get a wsp for deployment on another server.
    I've had problems with incomplete builds since my first deploy with wsp built by Visual Studio 2013, but I was not able to pinpoint it with certainty until
    last night.
    I have two classes used by a timer job. In a new version they back up some files after using them. After upgrading with the new wsp, I restarted the timer
    job service on all servers and ran the job, but the files did not back up. So I went and added a log statement to the backup code of one class and did another clean/rebuild/publish to file system from Visual Studio. I upgraded using the new wsp and then restarted
    the timer job service on all servers. When I ran the timer job service, the class where I added the log statement backed up the files it should. The other class still did not. So I added a log statement to this class as well and deployed that. Then this class
    started to backup files too.
    So I conclude that Visual Studio 2013 is failing at its core in a very dangerous way leaving assemblies built in an unknown, incomplete limbo state.
    I am downgrading all projects to Visual Studio 2012.
    This post is mainly to share my experience with the community, but if someone at Microsoft wants to investigate the issue, here is a suggestion on how to reproduce:
    Have Visual Studio in Debug build.
    Make a change to a class in a SharePoint project.
    Deploy the change to a local SharePoint installation.
    Change to Release build.
    Use Publish to file system to get a wsp. Open this wsp, copy the assembly, reflect and investigate to see that code change is actually there.

  • 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.
