I’m having trouble adding a Firebird connection to Visual Studio
I followed every step of the documentation
- I installed Firebirdsql.Data.Firebirdclient
- gacutil / i Firebirdsql.Data.Firebirdclient.dll
- gacutil / i Entityframework.Firebird.dll
- edited and executed the registry file for VS2015
- edited the machine.config
After that Firebird was added to the data source choice form
But when I advance to the configuration, the form you open is not like the one in the documentation: https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/fbdevgd-en/html/fbdg30-efw-vs-prepare.html#efw-database-locate
So I tended to inform a connection string, but it generates this error.
I get the impression that VS is loading a standard form.
I also had problems with the Firebird driver. I used the ODBC connection and it worked.
