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?

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.
