I'm trying to migrate an existing Visual Studio C# project to run in a script task in SSIS so that it can be a part of the SSIS package.
The current C# project uses "Linq to Sql Classes" to generate a dbml file and the necessary classes. For some reason when I edit the script task and it opens up Visual Studio and I right click and select "add -> new item" from the project and look for the "Linq to Sql Classes" item to add the dbml file to my project, it's not there?
Confusing because if I do the exact same thing in Visual Studio 2013 I'm able to add the "Linq to Sql Classes". Does anyone have any ideas? I realize I could use Entity Framework but that would take a considerable amount of time to re-write everything. Also I've thought about just executing the console application's compiled executable from within SSIS but our database team will not allow packages to run executables.
Also I'm targeting the .net framework 4.0 for both the Visual Studio 2013 console applications and from within the Visual Studio 2013 editor in the SSIS Package Script Task.
