Hi - I just downloaded FireBird Embedded (Firebird-1.5.2.4731_embed_win32)
and the ADO.NET provider (firebirdNETProvider-1.6.3-NET1.1.exe).
I installed the provider and rebooted. Then I created a new .NET
web app, copied the FireBird *.dlls to the /bin directory of the
app (fbembed.dll, ib_utildll and firebird.msg) and then ran the app,
trying to create a new database.
Here is my code in VB.NET:
Imports FirebirdSql.Data.Firebird
..
..
Dim parameters As Hashtable = New Hashtable
parameters.Add("User", "SYSDBA")
parameters.Add("Password", "masterkey")
parameters.Add("Database", "mydb.fdb")
parameters.Add("ServerType", 1)
FbConnection.CreateDatabase(parameters)
When I get to the last line, it produces the error message in the
subject. I also tried this in a Windows Forms app, and had the same
result. I'm not sure what to do? Why can't it find the dll?
Just FYI, I also tried the beta ADO.NET driver, and I also made sure
that the <machinename>\ASPNET role has full access to the
directories in question.
[DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL (fbembed).]
FirebirdSql.Data.Embedded.FbClient.isc_create_database(Int32[]
statusVector, Int16 dbNameLength, String dbName, Int32& dbHandle,
Int16 parmBufferLength, Byte[] parmBuffer, Int16 dbType) +0
FirebirdSql.Data.Embedded.FesDbAttachment.CreateDatabase(AttachmentParams
parameters, DpbBuffer c)
