Visual Studio 2013 New Project Visual C# Service-based Database item is missing

I am running Visual Studio Community 2013 and one time when following tutorial about database projects I noticed that I dont have item.
New Project -> Visual C# -> Data -> Service-based Database
 I dont even have a Data tab. I have image but cant post it until I will have 10 reputation...

I have tried to delete folders:

...Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates
...Common7\IDE\ItemTemplatesCache

then use 

devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates

I have also tried to repair Microsoft Visual Studio from Add/Remove programs and Install SQL DATA TOOLS but problem still exists.

Any 1 have idea how to solve that ?

Solution

  • The Service Based Database is not a Project, but a File template. So either on an existing project or on a new blank Class Library project use the Add new Item... option and you should be able to find the correct file template.
