[Firebird-net-provider] Creating new database with C#

[Frode L. <fr...@li...>]

Hello all, I'm a newcomer to this list.
 
I'm writing an application in C# (with Visual Studio .NET) which is
going to use a Firebird database.
I have successfully been able to connect and query the example
employee-database, but I'm struggling with creating my own database.
 
I see in the object browser that there is supposed to be a method called
CreateDatabase, but I seem unable to use it. Here is the code I use:
 
string connectionString = 
                                                "Database=C:\\PROGRAM
FILES\\FIREBIRD\\EXAMPLES\\EMPLOYEE.FDB;" +
                                                "User=SYSDBA;" +
                                                "Password=masterkey;" +
                                                "Dialect=3;" +
                                                "Server=localhost";
IDbConnection dbcon = new FbConnection(connectionString);
dbcon.ConnectionString = connectionString;
dbcon.Open();
 
For some reason I am not able to use dbcon.CreateDatabase.
 
Could anyone explain how to get this working? Or point me in the
direction of a good C# example? I've already had a look at the
ibphoenix.com site, to no avail.
Also I'd like to understand what where to set SYSDBA and masterkey. 
 
Thanks 
Frode
