SSIS package shows blank screen in design mode

I created a SSIS package using SQL Server data tools 2015 a week back. And today i opened the package and it just shows the blank screen.

I read about this issue here and it seems that was the defect in earlier versions and it is fixed.

Did anyone face this issue in data tools 2015? How can i fix it and save my package?

How do I know if my SSIS package failed?

In the Solution Explorer, Right-click on the SSIS package and click on Execute. The Red-Cross icon on the execute SQL Task shows that the package execution failed. Click on the Progress tab for the detailed error message. By looking at the following screenshot, we can identify the error message.

How do I open a Dtsx file in design view?

Try right-clicking on the Payroll. dtsx package. You should see the option 'View Designer' – select that.

Why is my SSIS package failing?

Reasons that the package may have failed are as follows: The user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent differs from the original package author. The user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or to access resources outside the SSIS package.

1) While the package is opened with the white page, rename it in the solution.

2) Save the package and close.

3) Rename the package back original name (while package is closed). This rename will open the package and hopefully set it back so that you can edit it.

This has worked for me, hopefully it will work for others.

All white on open? Just happens from time to time, the stuff is there just close and reopen Visual Studio always makes it come back for me.

But if not you could always find the dtsx file under it all in your users folder:

C:\Users\<yourusernamehere>\Source\Workspaces\<Projectworkspace> 

copy it and then pull it back in by right clicking the SSIS Packages folder in Solution Explorer and add existing package see if you can see it then.
