Hello, I need to create a Firebird connection with visual studio, but I’m having problems with the integration, I searched videos on the internet, and only have reference 2012, I did not find anything more current.

I want to build my software with Entityframework (edmx) to facilitate transactions with the bank, however, I could not create the connection yet! I already added the Provider, but when I create my EDMX file does not display the Firebird connection.

PS: I already installed the bin on the Firebird website (the Provider), checked and the installer has already added the resources in the Machine.config file

Ever since I thank,

I’ll leave the links of the videos below. Link1 Link2

Close your Visual Studio and install the DDEX Provider for Visual Studio and the ADO.NET Data Provider, both can be downloaded at the following link:

https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/additional-downloads/

After the installation go to the Machine.config file located in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[version]\config\machine.config for 32 Bits or %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\[version]\config\machine.config to 64 Bits

And look for <DbProviderFactories> you see that the DDEX installer inserted two lines into Firebird, removing one and leaving only one.

Here’s an example of how it should look:

  <system.data>
    <DbProviderFactories>
      <add name="Microsoft SQL Server Compact Data Provider 4.0" invariant="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact" type="System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeProviderFactory, System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"/>
      <add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data, Version=6.9.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"/>
      <add name="FirebirdClient Data Provider" invariant="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for Firebird" type="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FirebirdClientFactory, FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient, Version=5.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3750abcc3150b00c"/>
    </DbProviderFactories>
  </system.data>
