[Firebird-net-provider] visual studio doesn't accept my firebird connection string?

[Heine F. <hei...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am using visual studio 2013 community edition on windows 7 prof.
with service pack 1.
My firebird is the latest firebird with the latest dot net provider
and the latest plugin for visual studio. I am not sure whether my
firebird is superserver or superclassic.
It definately isn't classic or embedded.

When I try the connection string below in visual studio I get the
error that follows:

User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;Database=c:\employee.fdb;DataSource=localhost;Port=3050;Dialect=3;Charset=NONE;Role=;
Connection lifetime=15;Pooling=true;MinPoolSize=0;MaxPoolSize=50;
Packet Size=8192;ServerType=0;

Failure has occurred while loading a type.

What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Thanks
