In This Topic

New Features in This Release
Visual Studio 2022 Support
Support for Visual Studio 2022, including 64-bit Visual Studio, has been added. This enables the integration with the Server Explorer area within Visual Studio 2022 to facilitate querying and designing databases directly within Visual Studio. For more information see the Visual Studio Tools User's Guide.
Removal of Visual Studio 2015 Support
VistaDB supports the latest three major releases of Visual Studio. With the introduction of support for Visual Studio 2022, support for Visual Studio 2015 has been discontinued. This has enabled us to remove a notable legacy project and installation component and will make it easier to add future functionality.
Known Issues
Visual Studio
- Extension Doesn't Automatically Install If Visual Studio is Running: If any instance of Visual Studio 2017 or later is running when the installation runs the VistaDB extension will not automatically install into Visual Studio. To manually install, double-click VistaDB.VSDesigner.15.vsix (for Visual Studio 2017 / 2019) or VistaDB.VSDesigner.17.vsix (for Visual Studio 2022) in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Gibraltar Software\VistaDB 6\Bin directory (by default)
