Hallo everybody I am struggling creating a Firebird connection in Visual Studio 2015. I have a C# class library with which I would like to connect to a Firebird database. I installed these plugins from NuGet: [enter image description here]<http://i.stack.imgur.com/dR8Th.png> But when I try to add a new Item "ADO.NET Entity Data Model" with "EF Designer from database", the Firebird connection is not listed: [enter image description here]<http://i.stack.imgur.com/0o6np.png> I installed as well the "FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient-4.10.0.0.msi" package from http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/additional-downloads/ just in case an entry in the machine.config file is needed. The "FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient" reference exists in the Visual Studio project. The entry in the App.config file is: <DbProviderFactories> <remove invariant="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient" /> <add name="FirebirdClient Data Provider" invariant="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for Firebird" type="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FirebirdClientFactory, FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient" /> </DbProviderFactories> Can anybody help me with this issue? How can I create a database connection to my Firebird database? Thank you very much in advance. Best Regards, Rico |
