SSIS 2012: Empty toolbox? — 65 Comments

  1. Thanks for pointing it out of that two buttons. Now that will become my shortcuts! I have been doing the long way by making sure I am on the dtsx window, then click on View->Other Windows->SSIS Toolbox (the SSIS Toolbox option won’t show if you are on other windows)

  2. Thanks for the helpful post, James. As I began searching for a resolution, I was pleased to see this post from one of my favorite bloggers.

  3. This is a recurring problem with MS developer tools. Finding the most basic and commonly-used tools in the development environments can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. They really need some kind of usability czar to rethink their approach.

  4. Wow. That’s intuitive ….. NOT!
    Thanks, James. I sometimes wonder what these MS tool designers are thinking.

  5. Hi!
    I’ve tried to do these steps. But I haven’t got the two icons which are located on the top right corner, and I haven’t got my SSIS Toolbox. It’s awful =((
    I was thinking may is it shown when I create a project (dft)? But I am needed this toolbox for create automatic backup, it’ s not a project.
    I hope for your help=)

  7. Thank you. I thought this was related to my having installed SQL Server 2016 CTP and had run repairs and all sorts.

    What were they thinking! Regardless this helped me a lot.

  8. Out of experience, I detested going through the Registry as other blogs had suggested! I had started on the road through repair (I actually did one pass) and possibly a fresh installation when I thought of searching the Internet just once more. Thanks a lot Jame!!!

  9. this keeps coming up top of my search for adding new tools to the (ssis) toolbox but it doean’t cover that – anybody know how to add/remove (eg CodePlex) tools in SSDT?

  10. Your;s was 12th in the list returned by Google and the only one that addressed the actual issue….WTF did MS hide the toolbox? lol

    Thank you for taking the time to write it up

  11. Thanks!
    Have been frustratingly putting up with not having the toolbox open by
    relying on copying, pasting and modifying existing controls, but it became
    an issue when I needed something different.
    I’ve been closing and re-opening Visual Studio in hopes that it would resolve
    itself, which obviously did not, even tried re-starting my computer, thinking
    that it was being cause by something else.
    Eventually, I google searched and found this posting.
    Who would have thought that there are two different Toolbox’s……. really confusing.
    Again “THANKS!”

  12. Thanks a lot for this post!
    Ok I understand that one wants to put it in the ‘Other Windows’ section. I don’t understand why the old menu item still exists.
    I wonder what the use is for the ‘normal’ Toolbox button now.
