[Firebird-net-provider] enhancement for Delphi 8, Borland c#

[Tony R. <to...@so...>]

In the borland.net products (Delphi 8), there is a Borland Data provider
which allows you to drag and drop tables on to a project form, which creates
a data adatpter etc. Is there any development in this area, so that it can
be used directly with this feature.

Borland have an Interbase 7.1 provider, but this doesn't fully work with
firebird.

In the BDPDatasources xml file, there is a section for each provider, the
interbase one is...
<provider name="Interbase"
connectionStringType="Borland.Data.Interbase.IBConnectionString,
Borland.Data.Interbase, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=91d62ebb5b0d1b1b">
  <objectTypes>
    <objectType>Tables</objectType>
    <objectType>Procedures</objectType>
    <objectType>Views</objectType>
  </objectTypes>
</provider>

I have tried modifiying this for the Firebird.net provider but there is no
public version of "Borland.Data.Interbase.IBConnectionString" in the
assembly. I know there must be a bit more to it than adding a
IBConnectioString type, but it would be good to have.
