Unable to find the Report Data Pane in Visual Studio 2019 - sql-server-data-tools

I'm unable to find the Report Data Pane in Visual Studio 2019.
I tried installing all relevant extensions and using Ctrl Alt D as per reports I have found on here but this hasn't seemed to do anything.

This has now been resolved, re-imaged laptop > re-installed VS2019 with all required extensions
I believe it may have been a corrupt install of VS but this is yet to be confirmed by Microsoft

R Tools for Visual Studio not installing properly in VS2017

I tried installing the "R tools for Visual studio" in visual studio 2017, as explained in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/visualstudio/rtvs/installation#installation-in-visual-studio-2017 , but after installation nothing shows up in VS2017. The description on that web page doesn't properly describe the installation UI: step 3 mentions making sure that "R language support", "Runtime support for R development", and "Microsoft R client" are selected, but only the latter is available as an option - the first two are nowhere to be found. I am trying to get it installed on VS 2017 professional, on windows 7.
I also tried the installation for VS 2015, and that seems to work fine.
Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong, if the installer is bugged, or if something else is going on?
This has been logged as a bug on the RTVS Github repo.
Customers have reported that R in the VS 2017 Data Science Workload is blocked from installing on Windows 7. We have verified this issue and have a fix prepared for the next update of Visual Studio 2017.
We are currently working with the Visual Studio team to get this fix deployed as quickly as possible.

System.Data.SQLite Visual Studio 2012 .NET 4.5 Won't Show in Data Source

I'm developing on a Winodws 7 x86 machine in Visual Studio 2012 using .NET 4.5. I installed the x86/x64 System.Data.SQLite official Nuget package for my project. But I still don't see it as an option in the Data Source\Data Provider selections in the "Choose data source" dialog. I saw this answer here and it looks like this is all I should have to do (SQLite 1.0.82.0 (latest) in Visual Studio 2012 not showing in Designer Data Source). Am I missing something?
Thanks!
This package worked for me.
Apparently
"This setup package is capable of installing the design-time
components for Visual Studio 2012."
means
"This setup package is required for installing the design-time
components for Visual Studio 2012."
I just wanted to add this as a followup because I was having issues seeing the designer in VS2012 as well and it may help others in the future.
After multiple attempts at installing the designer and not seeing it show up, I ran
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /setup
This will force VS to rebuild its registry based on all of the installed packages. This will take a couple of minutes. Afterwards, I was able to start up VS 2012 and see the entry.
I am curious whether the installer executes this command at all or if it just triggers it but does not wait for it to finish. At which point the end user opens VS 2012 before the command has time to finish.

SQLite 1.0.82.0 (latest) in Visual Studio 2012 not showing in Designer Data Source

I am using the latest version, 1.0.82.0 (sqlite-netFx40-setup-bundle-x86-2010-1.0.82.0.exe), and am using the released version of Visual Studio 2012 with all the latest everything.
I do not see the SQLite in the Designer Data Source in Source Explorer (new Connections).
The download on SQLite states, "This setup package is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2010". I presume the "Visual Studio 2010" part is why I do not see the designer in VS2012, which is what I have.
How can I get the designer to work with VS2012?
When will the System.Data.SQLite.org team come out with a version that works with VS 2012?
(I did see a couple of posts back in July which talked about 1.0.66 and 1.0.73, but that was then and 1.0.82 includes the designers just for VS 2010 apparently. I see other file names with "-2008" presumably for Visual Studio 2008. That means that a Visual Studio 2012 will probably come, but in the mean time, I am curious about a manual registry hack or something like that.)
In order to get designer support for SQLite in Visual Studio, you have to download a very specific version of System.Data.SQLite. The downloads page has an astonishing 56 different possibilities, so it's easy to get the wrong one.
Look for the big bold text that says this:
This setup package is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2012.
But it's still easy to miss among the zillions of downloads. If you need to, use Control-F to find the "Visual Studio 2012" text.
Don't download the 64-bit version, even if you're on a 64-bit machine. You need the 32-bit version with the text above to get designer support.
NEW EDIT NOW I GOT IT WORKING!
Goto Visual Studio, Manage Nuget, search for online packages, search "SQLite", install System.Data.SQLite, and boom, you can use designer and evrything is working again.
After some search I found my answer, 1.0.83, which will come out in November XX, 2012.
Visual Studio 2012 aside from the v10 to v11 registry hive difference also has what the team calls a "redesigned designer support".
Here is the link to the information.
http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/news.wiki
1.0.83.0 - November XX, 2012 (release scheduled)
•Updated to SQLite 3.7.15.
•Add Visual Studio 2012 support to all the applicable solution/project files, their associated supporting files, and the test suite.
•Add Visual Studio 2012 support to the redesigned designer support installer.
and other changes.
I could not find any interim solution on the web, sadly. The lack of a fix affects report based projects with DevExpress and projects that use the explorer.

Crystal Reports and VS2010

We have Crystal Reports running and it is tied into our VS2010 installation. I have not looked at the instance in a long time because we had a devoted Crystal developer on board, however he is gone now and I need to make a few changes. When I try to open up the .rpt file in VS2010 all I get is garbage, not the Crystal Report with the GUI. What do I need to configure/install to get to see this inside VS2010?
EDIT: When I go to my .rpt file to edit it with Crystal Reports, I get a white screen filled with what appears to be random HEX character sets and periods. I have downloaded the CR for Visual Studio, however it still happens, is there an extension I need to include somewhere? I have my target framework as 4.0 and I have the CrystalDecisions assemblies loaded in my web.config.
Here is the SAP link for VS 2010...
http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp
I also had this problem after installing "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Microsoft Visual Studio" recently - over two years later.
I specifically installed Support Pack 8 on 64-bit Windows 7 Pro and found that the fix for me was to:
(1) Run the install executable rather than an MSI per SAP's note that this is critical to full integration with Visual Studio (all the way back to the RTM release):
Please note: To integrate "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio" into VS 2010 or 2012, you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime distribution only.
(2) Run it with Visual Studio closed.
(3) Run it as Administrator.
Even doing (1) and (2) in the list above without (3) yielded an error at the end of installation (even though the account I used was a member of the local Administrators group). Unfortunately I (uncharacteristically) did not note the error and just continued. :P
Bottom line, even though "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Microsoft Visual Studio" showed in Windows' Programs and Features control panel and I could add CR items to and reference CR assemblies in Visual Studio projects afterward, hex-like garbage rather than the expected report designer greeted me when I opened CR .rpt files in Visual Studio - just like the OP described.
So I closed Visual Studio and uninstalled "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Microsoft Visual Studio" through Windows' Programs and Features control panel.
Further doing (3) in the list above when I ran the installer executable again (i.e. running it as Administrator), I encountered no errors; and afterward the expected report designer rather than hex-like garbage greeted me when I opened CR .rpt files in Visual Studio: problem solved.
