Hi, Ive installed the Firebird client ok (FirebirdClient-2.5.0-Alpha2) ,
and proved via some code that Visual Studio can access and extract via
query some data from a firebird table. However, I want to be able to add
a data connection via the server explorer (and thereby using the built
in data aware components).
I've gone through the DDEX install (FirebirdDEXProvider-2.0.2.exe).
and In the registry file, FirebirdDDEXProviderPackageLess32.reg,
searched and replaced all occurrences of "8.0" with "9.0" and path, and
updated the machine.config file.
When I come to add a Data connection via the server explorer, I can
Select "Firebird data source", and data provider as ".NET Framework Data
Provider for Firdbird".
After pressing continue, I can set the Connectionstring, which I set to
Server=192.168.0.16;User=XXXXXX;Password=XXXXXXX;Database=/db/dp.fdb
I can Test the connection which brings up Ok, but as soon as I try and
"Ok" from this screen, I get an error
"Failure has occured while loading a type"
Anybody else hit this ?
cheers
Mat
