SSDT project not loading in visual studio 2012 for azure v12 database schema provider.

I googled the issue and found that following link would resolve the issue. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ssdt/archive/2014/12/18/sql-server-database-tooling-preview-release-for-the-latest-azure-sql-database-update-v12-preview.aspx

But, the update as per above link would work only on visual studio 2013 version.

The actual error shown on trying to load SSDT project in vs 2012 is as follows: Internal error: The database platform service with type microsoft.data.tools.schema.sql.sqlAzurev12DatabaseSchemaProvider is not valid. You must make sure the service is loaded, or you must provide full type name of a valid database platform service.

SQL Server Version: 2012
