WCF Data Service Template Missing in Visual Studio 2013

I've installed WCF Data Service 5.6.3 but I still can't see the template when I try to add a new item. I can see the template in VS 2010 but not 2013.

Hi,
In which kind of project did you create WCF Data Service? It doesn't support some kinds of project.
Make sure you've installed it correctly. You could try to install it from Nuget.

Error installing SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013

Hi
I am trying to install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 and am getting the following error
This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.
I am running
Windows 8.1 x64
SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition x64
Visual Studio 2013 Professional
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Biztalk Developer

Could you please check if Windows Installer service is running and is in automatic startup mode.
The other thing is, if you’re running an x64-based SQL instance (64-bit), make sure to select “New Instance” on the Installation Type page, and NOT “Add features to an existing instance”.

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
The following blog is for your reference:

Since I have no environment to test this at this moment,
I recommend you that submit the feedback at

Thank you for your understanding.

SQL Server 2012 with Visual Studio 2013 with SSIS/Integration services project?

I wanted to build an integration services project to import data from multiple sources using a vendor's API.
I wish I could recall how I got to the point where I was able to build one and have it run successfully, but I had to install so many things that I honestly don't remember.
However, I noticed my PC booting really slowly after that, and I saw that I had components of VS 2010, VS 2012 and VS 2013 installed, along with SQL Server 2008 and 2012. So I uninstalled a bunch of stuff, hoping to get to where I had only the most
current versions of all, that were compatible with my corporate environment. So I was aiming for Visual Studio 2013 (Premium, I think) and SQL Server 2012.
Took me 2 days. Now I'm at the point where I think - and I'm here to learn if I'm correct - that I cannot get an oData Source component into my project and use VS 2013 IF I want to stick with Sql Server 2012. Is that correct?
I get very confused when trying to determine how the acronyms relate: SSIS, SSDT, SSDT-BI, etc.

Hi Anonymous11847,
SSDT: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2010, it contains Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2010. This can be installed when SQL Server is
installed. It supports various SQL Server versions as follows:
SSAS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
SSRS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
SSIS projects can target only SQL Server 2012
SSDT-BI for VS 2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012, it contains Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2012.
This needs to be separately downloaded and installed. It supports various SQL Server versions as follows:
SSAS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
SSRS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
SSIS projects can target only SQL Server 2012
SSDT-BI for VS 2013: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013, it contains Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2013.
This needs to be separately downloaded and installed. It supports various SQL Server versions as follows:
SSAS projects can target SQL Server 2014 or lower
SSRS projects can target SQL Server 2014 or lower
SSIS projects can target only SQL Server 2014
So if the SQL Server version is SQL Server 2012, we should install SSDT or SSDT-BI for VS2012 to create SSIS project.

SSIS script task using visual c# 2012 language when creating package in Visual Studio 2013

Is it right or my installation was all wrong.
When I am trying to use a script task in an SSIS package using Visual Studio 2013, the available languages are visual c# and VB 2012.
I was expecting to find visual c# and VB 2013 since I was using Visual Studio 2013.
I already installed the "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013" available for sql 2014
Please help clarify this. Thanks beforehand.
Paulino

Hi Paulino,
According to your description, the ScriptLanguage property of C# script tasks show "Microsoft Visual C# 2012” in SSDT-BI for VS 2013.
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And I find that the ScriptLanguage property of C# script tasks show "Microsoft Visual C# 2010” in SSDT, and show "Microsoft Visual C# 2012” in SSDT for SSDT –
BI for VS2012. It only appear in SSDT-BI for VS 2013.
The issue is by design. But we can check "Do not show this again." to ignore the dialog and the task can be executed without any problem.

WCF Data Service from Entity Framework 5 in SharePoint 2013

not sure which forum is best, so im going to throw it in here.
I am working on a proof of concept. I want to create a WCF Data Service within sharepoint 2013. not only do i want to do that, i want to use the Entity Framework 5 to expose the data via OData. Now, I have crawled the internet and seen various examples of
how to create wcf data services and wcf services in sharepoint 2010/2013. and have tried to apply those as needed to create this POC. So.. what I have done so far.
MonitoringData.cs
[BasicHttpBindingServiceMetadataExchangeEndpoint]
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Required)]
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.Guid("0185abf6-e8b8-42e2-9965-6bb644338077")]
public class MonitoringData : DataService<MonitoringServiceEntities>
// This method is called only once to initialize service-wide policies.
public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config)
// TODO: set rules to indicate which entity sets and service operations are visible, updatable, etc.
// Examples:
config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("*", EntitySetRights.AllWrite);
config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("*", ServiceOperationRights.All);
config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = DataServiceProtocolVersion.V3;
MonitoringData.svc:
<%@ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true"
Service="$SharePoint.Type.0185abf6-e8b8-42e2-9965-6bb644338077.AssemblyQualifiedName$"
Factory="Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Services.MultipleBaseAddressDataServiceHostFactory, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
upon deployment, this error when hitting the https://server/_vti_bin/poc/monitoringdata.svc/$metadata
"The type 'xxxxxxxx', provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive, or provided in the configuration element system.serviceModel/serviceHostingEnvironment/serviceActivations could
not be found."
Breaking out the google-fu, i found that adding the dll to the <compilation> section was needed for the web.config. so i did that. and now i just get a blank screen with no errors.
so i crack open fiddler. i see the following
200 http
tunnel to
server:443 0
401 https
server /_vti_bin/poc/monitoringdata.svc/$metadata
16
401
https server
/_vti_bin/poc/monitoringdata.svc/$metadata
0
404
https server
/_vti_bin/poc/monitoringdata.svc/$metadata
0
best i can see is that im either not authorized, and its returning null (which shouldnt be the case) or something is just busted.
The goal is to use ntml auth and https to connect to this service. any ideas?

One thing I found was that it's never worth the trouble to place the WCF service in a web site running SharePoint, it's better to place it in a dedicated web site, as described in this article:
http://sharepointdragons.com/2011/10/07/parallel-programming-in-sharepoint-2010-the-back-to-the-future-pattern/
It's usually too much work to get the web.config settings right because of the settings it inherits from its parents.

I'll say that it is one solution to move the WCF Service outside of sharepoint. but my "1000 mile" requirements makes this a necessity.
To broaden the scope of what I am doing, I have a custom SharePoint Service Application. this custom application has a proxy that used a restful interface. Now, with all the methods i will have to write (over 100, x3 for all of the "proxy to a proxy" scenarios)
I wanted to explore the idea of using odata. so i can use the various clients to write their own queries instead of me writing them all and exposing them. especially since its all linq queries to a database underneath. I feel that I am missing some specific
component to make this work, and its surely due to my incomplete knowledge of WCF or EF.

Working example of WCF Data Services inside Layouts or ISAPI

I have been struggling for hours getting WCF data services to work inside SP2013 Layouts or _VTI_BIN. I create a hello world WCF service like so...
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public sealed class SampleService : ISampleService
public string SampleServiceCall(string SampleValue) { return "Success"; }
and create a .svc file like so
<%@ServiceHost language= "C#" Factory= "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Services.MultipleBaseAddressDataServiceHostFactory, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" Service= "SharePoint.WCFService.Sample.Code.SampleService" %>
and everything works great inside Layouts and _VTI_BIN. I change the SampleService to this...
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public sealed class SampleService : DataService<WSS_ContentEntities>
public string SampleServiceCall(string SampleValue) { return "Success"; }
// This method is called only once to initialize service-wide policies.
public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config)
// TODO: set rules to indicate which entity sets and service operations are visible, updatable, etc.
// Examples:
// config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("MyEntityset", EntitySetRights.AllRead);
// config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("MyServiceOperation", ServiceOperationRights.All);
config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = DataServiceProtocolVersion.V2;
and I get the error
The type 'SharePoint.WCFService.Sample.Code.SampleService', provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive, or provided in the configuration element system.serviceModel/serviceHostingEnvironment/serviceActivations
could not be found.
Its like inheriting from DataService causes a .net dll loading problem, it cant seem to find my dll anymore...

Hi,
Seems that you want to create a WCF Data Service, then I would suggest you follow the link below about how to create WCF Data Services, you can reference the SharePoint Object
Model dlls if your need in your project:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/572417/AplusBeginner-splusTutorialplusforplusCreatingpl
If there are still any questions about WCF Data Services, I would suggest you open another thread in Visual C# forum for more confirmed answers:

Wcf Data Service fails when more than 8properties in the 'select=' portion

Hi:
I am using WCF Data Service and Oracle
EF Provider is ODAC11.2 Release 4
Wcf Data Service fails when more than 8 properties are specified in the 'select=' portion of the URI
here is my code
var q = from c in this.ctx.SALESORDER_ITEM
select new
c.SORDERDETAILID,
c.IID,c.DMFLAG,c.OWNERID,c.SKUID,c.SKU_ID,c.TRADENO,c.SOURCEID,c.SORDERID
excetion:
InvalidOperationException: An error occurred for this query during batch execution. See the inner exception for details
The inner exception is null, but the DataServiceClientException states: Value cannot be null Parameter name: value
the exception is thrown in base.OnStartProcessingRequest(args) method (overridden).
Here is the call stack as well:
at System.Data.Services.WebUtil.CheckArgumentNull[T](T value, String parameterName)
at System.Data.Services.Internal.ProjectedWrapper.set_PropertyNameList(String value)

Is there a max number of properties in $select statement
I think may be it is oracle provider's problem ,but i don't konw how to debug it Can anyone help me
Any help is greatly appreciated

I believe the null/empty string issue is unrelated to the 8 column issue, at least for ODP.NET. For example, let's take the original query in the OBE:
http://.../yoursvcfile.svc/EMPLOYEES?$select=EMPLOYEE_ID,FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,SALARY,DEPARTMENT_ID,DEPARTMENT,EMAIL,PHONE_NUMBER,MANAGER_ID
Let's make all the columns selected not nullable. You can do this with the Oracle Dev Tools. Specifically, PHONE_NUMBER and FIRST_NAME are the only nullable fields. I make them non-nullable and re-run the query and the same error occurs. Thus, these values should never be made null. Moreover, in all 107 rows, none of these row values consist of empty strings anyway.
Looking into the problem further, WCF DS is calling methods in the System.Data.Services.Internal namespace.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.services.internal.aspx
Specifically, we see your issue when the ProjectedWrapperMany method is called. You will notice that there is ProjectedWrapper0, ProjectedWrapper1...ProjectedWrapper8 methods also present in the same namespace. As soon as the number of columns exceeds 8, ProjectedWrapperMany is called and we see the error. We're going to ask MS to help analyze the issue since this is an .NET-internal method being called.

Visual Studio 2013 Pro - Winforms toolbox icons beside items are missing for some 3rd party vendors controls

I noticed last weekend after installing VS 2013.4 update that the Winforms toolbox, while showing all items, did not display the icons beside the items for any custom/third party Winform controls. The only icon
showing in the toolboxes are the Pointer icon. I can select and drop any control onto a project, and as soon as I move mouse into the design surface the icon shows. Neither the
builtin Winforms controls nor the WPF toolbox exhibit the same symptom. It is specific to Winforms third party controls (ActiPro and DevExpress). At first I thought it was due to the update, then I found that my laptop was
already exhibiting this symptom, running 2013.3 (I had not dropped any controls from the toolbox in the past few weeks so I did not notice).
The two machines (laptop and workstation) are running Windows 7 64-bit Professional and Ultimate, respectively. These machines are dedicated to development, and are secured, also running Norton Antivirus.
I also have VS 2010 and VS 2012 which don't exhibit the symptom, though I finally removed 2012 last night during my adventures. I had all three VS side by side, running well for months (I added VS 2013 in June). VS
2013 had been functioning well on a daily basis for the dozen or so Winforms projects and the odd WPF or MVC project.
I use DevExpress v2014 and ActiPro controls; I have been using them for years now.
I've spent 2 days trying remedies that include:
Resetting Toolbox
Removal of *.spd files in %APPDATA%, restarting VS
Uninstall Visual Studio, remove and delete of any Visual Studio remnant in the registry, Program Files(x86), %APPDATA% and %PROGRAMDATA%, reinstall.
Repeat step 3 with VS 2013.1 and .3
Downgraded .NET to 4.5.1 to match my third, correctly functioning computer (also running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate).
DevExpress has told me this isn't a problem they have seen. At first I agreed, since my ActiPro controls also are missing their icons, but then I noted that other vendor controls display fine. Not sure what else to do but to nuke the workstation and install
from OS up.

DevExpress is discussing this issue in the thread here : https://www.devexpress.com/support/center/Question/Details/T174133#comment-a98eedf1-ca54-4920-a2d6-49506ddae5b5
The small sample they provided in the thread actually reproduces the bug in my environment.
Since I cannot post screenshots here on MSDN forum (I explained above, when I try to attach pictures I
receive an error that my account is not verified). There is nothing more I can do.
This appears to be a bug in Visual Studio 2013. VS 2010 and 2012 are on the same machine and do not exhibit
the problem. It is frustrating how unresponsive Microsoft is to my issue. I am a long-time MSDN subscriber, as well as customer of multiple seats of the retail copies of Visual Studio. It looks like the only way to get attention is to pay for a incident. If
Microsoft is interested in actually seeing this bug in action, I have 2 machines that are preserved. I have installed a fresh environment on my backup PC.

WCF Data services remove miliseconds from DateTime when expand

I get some strange behavior, when using WCF Data Services 5.6. In my case, I have table, with 1 column set with Concurrency=Fixed, and this column hold date time field from database, updated each time when row is edited. In case I just retrieve entity -
this column has correct value with milliseconds. But if I do mapping - milliseconds are removed.
Here is a issue at glance :
====================================================================
void Main()
var b = from p in TABLE1 where p.ID == 100 select p;
b.Dump();
Request in this case is : Data.svc/TABLE1(100M) And data returned from service is :
<d:COL1 m:type="Edm.DateTime">2015-02-16T12:13:52.972</d:COL1>
====================================================================
As you can see , here time is returned with milliseconds - .972 In other case :
void Main()
var tmp = from p in TABLE1 where p.ID == 100 select
new TABLE1()
ID=p.ID,
COL1=p.COL1
var a1 = tmp.ToList();
a1.Dump();
Request in this case is : Data.svc/TABLE1(100M)?$select=ID,COL1
<d:COL1 m:type="Edm.DateTime">2015-02-16T12:13:52</d:COL1>
====================================================================
Time is returned without milliseconds.
Does anybody have same problem? May be its a bug in the WCF Data services or in the model?

Ok, seems like I found an answer to this, or at least way to avoid the problem.
First I traced generated SQL from framework, and I see that in first case, im getting SQL
SELECT ID, COL1 FROM TABLE1
and in second case, I got
SELECT ID, CAST( COL1 AS DATETIME) FROM TABLE1
which cause the problem.
Then I tried to update EF to version 6, WCF Data services to version 5.6.3,
Oracle ODP to latest one, tried to use Oracle managed driver... no any success.
Then I played little bit with table definition, and I saw that my col1 with type TIMESTAMP in database and DateTime in the model was defined as NOT NULL.
If I remove this from database definition, I got right value with milliseconds.
So , may be this is a bug in Oracle driver, but probably this is a bug in the WCF Data Services. At least I found a way to use concurrency in my case with this solution.

Can't call WCF Data Service from within a WCF Service

I am trying to query my WCF Data Service from within a WCF Service and I receive a error 404. However, when I query the data service from my application, it works just fine. The WCF Service will work just fine if I comment out the Data Service
query request.
How do I get a WCF Service and a WCF Data Service to play nice?

Hi,
For this situation, first you could try to create the wcf data service and run it then consume the data service within your application by adding service reference.
Here is an example for creating and consuming WCF Data service in console application, and for consuming the service in wcf service, you could just follow the same steps as the console application does.

Connect to Azure Sql DB through WCF Data Service

I am following the tutorial:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee621789.aspx;
Connect to Windows Azure SQL Database Through WCF Data service on a
Windows 8 machine running VS2013. Until starting this tutorial, I have only been using VS for WPF applications. So it might not be properly configured for a web app.
Everything works just fine until I get to the section on Creating the Client Application. Clicking the Discover button populates the services pane with my service. When I click on the service in the pane I get the following Add Service Reference
Error:
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:62778/testDataService.svc/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata'.
The request failed with the error message: --- , . . .
If I ignore it and click OK it essentially tells me the same thing:
"There was an error downloading metadata from the address. Please verify that you have entered a valid address."
I am thinking that there is a configuration issue on my machine. Perhaps something needs to be installed or running, . . .
I have tried doing the same steps with a local SqlExpress database, and get the same problem. If I try to go directly to the website via the browser:
http://localhost:62778/testDataService.svc
I get a Request Error.
Any suggestions, thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated!
Robotuner

Hi,
From the error message "There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:62778/testDataService.svc/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata'.", I suspect that you created a folder named _vti_bin, and created wcf data service named ListData, in my test
application, from my experience, you issue may be caused by "$metadata", can you give further information to me, there was a
wcf data service quick start, hope this will help you.

Publish cloud service fails from Visual Studio 2013 Update 4: Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.

I have a cloud service project with two roles (service and worker). In Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 when I choose "Publish..." from the "Solution Explorer", it opens "Microsoft Azure Activity Log" and quickly terminates.
Here the log:
9:43:47 AM - Applying Diagnostics extension.
9:44:09 AM - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
All works fine when uploading the package and updating from https://manage.windowsazure.com/. It only fails from within Visual Studio.
What can I do to get it working?

I have the same problem with our Azure project. Two web roles (service and worker). Just updated from SDK2.2 to SDK2.5 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 to Update 4. The main reason behind this was to move from log4net to WAD and in doing so, of course directly
move to the new diagnostics version.
Now, I get the same error message in Visual Studio:
11:45:24 - Checking for Remote Desktop certificate...
11:45:25 - Applying Diagnostics extension.
11:45:45 - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
With my small testing project - also two roles (service and worker) - everything is fine. However, I'm looking for a solution to make by existing production service working.
Also the test project shows no Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml,
but this is no problem - so what's the meaning of or solution to this error messages?
What I found so far:
I deployed the Azure project from the same development environment to another Azure test service: Deployment
showed no errors and the service is running fine! So the problem is not with the source, the development environment, library dependencies etc.
Trying Azure cmdlets for PowerShell also work fine for the new service and fails for the production service with almost the same error message:
Following http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kwill/archive/2014/12/02/windows-azure-diagnostics-upgrading-from-azure-sdk-2-4-to-azure-sdk-2-5.aspx
I tried:
PS C:\> Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension -StorageContext $storageContext -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $public_config -ServiceName $service_name -Slot 'Staging' -Role $role_name
VERBOSE: Setting PaaSDiagnostics configuration for MyWebRole.
Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension : BadRequest : Published Asset Entry for Image
Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension], CloudException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.WindowsAzure.CloudException,Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.ServiceManagement.
Extensions.SetAzureServiceDiagnosticsExtensionCommand
The problem seems to be related to those service configuration parts in the cloud which are not replaced
by a new deployment... So what are possible reasons or fixes for this behaviour?
Best regards,

os is an issue.....kindly help me

Hi,
You can't develop Windows Store app with Windows 7. So when you installed VS 2013 on a Win7, the templates are not present. Only the template compatible with Win7 are installed.
