My "Show Table Data" has disappeared from Server Explorer in Visual Studio 2012.

I ran an update of Visual Studio, and the button disappeared after that. I've tried to uninstall the program, and do it all over again. No luck.
Any ideas?

To connect to a database instance In Visual Studio, make sure that SQL Server Object Explorer is open. If it is not, click the View menu and select SQL Server Object Explorer. Right-click the SQL Server node in SQL Server Object Explorer and select Add SQL Server.
To create a connection to the database, click the Add Connection icon in Server Explorer, or right-click in Server Explorer on the Data Connections node and select Add Connection.
Right-click on Tables and select Add New Table. The Table Designer opens and shows a grid with one default row, which represents a single column in the table that you're creating. By adding rows to the grid, you'll add columns in the table.
I had the same problem in Visual Studio 2015 Professional.
I uninstalled SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools) and then downloaded and re-installed it from this link.

Go to your Control Panel and delete ALL MS SQL Programs, then reinstall.
