adding /using silverlight ddl in visual studio 2008 - silverlight

I am trying to add silverlight3.0 ddl in visual studio 2008 but getting the following error any help.
**
error in loading type from assembly.Could not load file or assembly
system.windows
**

Have you tried repairing the Silverlight Tools installation?
And do you have Silverlight SDK installed?
The Silverlight SDK can be installed using the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=16011
The Silverlight Addon for VS 2008 SP1 can be found here which includes SDK and other components:

Visual Studio 2019 say dtproj SSIS project is unsupported

I'm trying to open my dtproj SSIS project in Visual Studio 2019 and it says its unsupported and incompatible. What am I missing? I installed VS with SSDT so it should work. I compared the about-info of both and found the VS that didn't work lacked the following. Is SSIS 15 a separate install? If so, where do I get it?
Snapshot Debugging Extension 1.0
Snapshot Debugging Visual Studio Extension Detailed Info
SQL Server Integration Services 15.0.2000.180
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer
Version 15.0.2000.180
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2019 00435-60000-00000-AA131
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2019
#larnu has part of the answer, that is, install the SSIS extension. After doing that it still won't work (or didn't in my case). The project still said 'unsupported' and I right clicked it in solution explorer and clicked 'reload project' and after that the project loaded correctly.

Visual Studio 2013 Build Error: Incompatible versions of SQL Server Data Tools and database runtime components are installed on this computer

I have Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013 installed on my development machine. My SQL projects were created with VS2013 and they compile fine from Visual Studio, but they fail with the following message when I use MSBuild from the command line:
Build Error: Incompatible versions of SQL Server Data Tools and
database runtime components are installed on this computer.
Note: This same error was encountered by other developers in Visual Studio 2012. See This SO question. I have verified that my versions of SSDT are up to date. I am not dealing with the same problem.
To resolve this issue you have to make sure you are using MSBuild 12.0 which comes with Visual Studio 2013 not MSBuild 4.0 which ships with the .Net 4.0 framework.
Make sure your path does not include the .Net 4.0 framework and then add MSBuild 12.0 to your path like this:
SET PATH=%PATH%;"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\MSBuild\12.0\Bin"
Another solution is to set the VisualStudioVersion property to 12.0 like this
MSBuild.exe My.sqlproj /p:VisualStudioVersion=12.0
Note: This same error message has appeared in many different versions of SSDT. This fix is specific to Visual Studio 2013

Visual Studio Express 2013 and Silverlight RIA Services development

I have a project made with Silverlight 5 and RIA Services. It works ok on Visual Studio Professional (2010/2012/2013) and the RIA client code generation is running perfect.
I am trying to use Visual Studio 2013 Express (for Web) to build my project, but the RIA client code generation doest't work and doesn't shows any error message to show me what happened... I checked if the my in the csproj would have a problem, but it is configured properly.
Somebody knows if there is some workaround get this working?
Or, if the Express Visual Studio versions' are incompatible with this feature?
Tks
I would use the Visual Studio Community Edition. It is more like the Professional Edition and allows for different project types in the same solution. It may fix your issue.

Cannot open .csproj-file with Visual Studio C# 2010 Express

I'm trying to open this project (https://github.com/shtejv/ARDrone-Control-.NET) downloaded from the internet but just when I open the project this error appears: "The project type is not supported by this installation."
It also shows the solution corresponding to that project as unavailable.
What can I do? maybe should I download a newer version of Visual Studio?
EDIT: The project that is causing the fail is called ARDrone_Testing so maybe it's a unit testing project so I'll need the full version of VisualStudio2010. I read it in this post!
SOLUTION: It finally works properly, I've just finished installing vs2013 professional and open the project without any problem!
Thank you all!
I'm looking at the .sln file and it is created with Visual Studio 2010:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010
What project is failing? (the name of the project)
Additional dependencies like DirectX shouldn't affect the project loading.

No WPF/Silverlight in VS2012?

I have installed VS2012 on a windows 8 machine and surprisingly doesn't show any WPF or Silverlight option when I create a project.
Am I missing something here?! In fact, it is not the way it used to be in VS2010. I only can see it as template under Visual C# which again it is under Online.
Why is that?
You need to install "Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop"....it's a different edition which has restored the WPF capability.
