I have an already populated Firebird database and would like to use this same database for a Web project in visual studio 2015.

I would like to use a library class and generate the model using EF Code-First - From an existing base but on a Firebird server .

I already installed Firebird ADO.NET Data Provider and tried to give a "conect to database" in visual studio, selected "Firebird Data Source", dei continue but when I select DB in the "add conecction" window the window closes and I have to restart the process in "conect to database" or VS crashes and reboots.

It didn’t, so I installed the ADO.NET Firebird, as below:

PM> Install-Package FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient
PM> Install-Package EntityFramework.Firebird

But I still can’t connect DB with Visualstudio.

Does anyone know how I fix?

Thank you.

  • DDEX and Provider are already installed but when I try to select DB to do the reverse engineering procedure VS locks or closes the window. It seems to be some IDE bug, I am trying to repair the VS installation to try the procedure again and test. Soon I bring a return.

  • @Victorglauber I updated the answer. Try the EF Tools as well.
