[Firebird-net-provider] Connection String For Firebird On Linux

[Chris W. <cfw...@ad...>]

Hi-

I am trying to connect to a Firebird Database running on RH 8.0 Linux from a
C# client app on an Windows XP machine without any luck.  My connect string
looks like this:

this.fbConn.ConnectionString =
"Provider=Firebird.Net;Database=/usr/local/firebird/examples/employee.gdb;Us
er=SYSDBA;Password=qo97KZnZ;Dialect=3;Server=delllinux;Port=3050";

The app sits for a long time, but eventually I get the message Object
reference not set to an instance of an object.

I am able to connect to this database from Interbase Workbench successfully
using the same path, user info, etc.  The delllinux server name is mapped to
the correct ip in my hosts file on the XP box.

Any assistance you can provide to resolve this problem would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks.
