Dimension Data Type Discrepancy Check Context Menu Missing

[rmegal]

Just installed VS2019 Community 16.10.0, the SSAS extension, and this extension. The "Dimension Data Type Discrepancy Check" menu is not showing up.

I restarted VS2019. No joy.

What am I missing?

Thanks for reporting. Can you take a screenshot of the Tools... Options... BIDS Helper... Version screen and post it here.

Here is the error:

I tried updating to VS2019 16.10.1, and then downgrading to 16.9.7. The error still exists:

I echo this bug. I am using VS Community 2019 Version 16.10.3 (.Net framework 4.7.03190) and I am not seeing the Data Type Discrepancy context menu when looking at dimensions. This is a key feature I use all the time. I am also not getting an error as per OP.

Thanks in advance for your help on this. --AR
