Visual Studio Data Tools 2017/2015 Support
- Visual Visual Studio Data Tools 2015 needs to be at Update 3 or Later.
- Note: As of 5/23/18 - In SSDT 2017: Solution Explorer Status Icons and the Status bar may not work. All other features work, including the right click menu in the solution explorer and the pending changes window.
