Hi All

I'm trying to determine how I might embed firebird in a .NET
application. I have successfully accessed a fb-based db via using
the .NET framework.

So question is, what is involved in activating the fb service from
within an application? For example how would the service start up?
Does it need to be a running service? or can one simply access the
file?

With the examples given the connection string calls a server
("localhost"). So what happens where there is no local host?

Thanks

Craig
