title: Unable to display SQL Azure table definition in Visual Studio 2013
body: <p>The error I am getting is: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Problem loading: The designer encountered an error while loading the table definition</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I can view the data within the tables inside VS just fine and can even query the data too. This is a fresh install on my computer.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What I have tried:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Tried viewing the table in both "Server Explorer" and "SQL Server
  Object Explorer."   </li>
  <li>Checked if my login credentials has permissions to
  create tables in the "Management Portal."</li>
  <li>Installed SSMS and still cannot show the design of the table</li>
  <li>Tried connecting to the database using OLE DB and SQL Server data providers, but I still get the same issue</li>
  <li>Added my IP connection to the server firewall and turned on "Windows Azure Services"</li>
  <li>Set the connection timout counter to zero</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>This is the image of my error. I generated a very simple user table just for testing purposes from the Management Portal.</p>

  <p>This is a simple test to connect to the Azure database without using a project template. This is my first time using SQL Azure just to warn you. Sure I can just stick to using the Management Portal to change the table definition and stuff like that, but I was wanting to keep everything in one program.</p>
