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?

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.

This fixed it for me as well. And I do have the Extension installed @Hadi but I was hoping you were right. I turned it back On after they showed up with the flag Off, but they disappeared again. The flag must be Off for the tools to show up.Conducive

I am using visual studio 2017, To get the SSIS toolbox back, right-click on the SSIS design surface in the project and select SSIS Toolbox please see this link. This resolved it for me.

Adding the content below again, in case the webpage is not available in future.

I have installed the Data-Tier Application Framework and SQL Server Data Tools for VS 2017 . I created a solution then returned to it a week later and the SSIS toolbox had disappeared.

I opened the toolbox window using View -> Toolbox but it was empty.

To get the SSIS toolbox back, right-click on the SSIS design surface in the project and select SSIS Toolbox – hey presto! it reappears.

This is the correct answer. This has been an issue for many version, but hasn't happened to me in a while and I couldn't remember how to fix. Thanks for posting. It's just another annoying VS SSIS bug in the very long and never ending list of SSIS VS bugs that MS seems determined to never fix.Teage

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

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:

Additionally, the extension can be searched within VS itself, through Tools > Extensions and Updates and search for Integration services and Install the same.Devinna

I had a project from 2017 and the toolbar would not open when I opened the project. I had to create a new empty project. Then go back and open the 2017 project. Then the toolbar appeared.

For me, enabling SSIS toolbox did the trick initially it did not show up in VS 2019 community

My two cents worth, I had the same issue-

In the toolbox window, right-click and select SHOW ALL.
Then right-click again, and turn off the SHOW ALL. Voilah...!

Show All will show all tools even those that cannot be used for SSIS. All of them are disabled.Owner
