Why is my SSIS toolbox empty in Visual Studio 2019 community?

Question

I installed Visual Studio 2019 Community and then installed data tools. I can open an Integration Services project but when I look at the SSIS Tooolbox, it's empty.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

This is a problem after Visual Studio does an update for Optimization.

I have confirmed that the fix is:

Open menu item: - Tools - Options - Environment - On the General Tab - DISABLE/uncheck - "Optimize rendering for screens with different pixel densities"

This solved my problem.

I think you should download and install the Integration Services Projects extension:

• SQL Server Integration Services Projects

Since in Visual Studio 2019, for Analysis Services, Integration Services or Reporting Services projects, you have to install the appropriate extension(s) from the marketplace.

You can refer to the following official documentation for additional information:

• Download and install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio
