Solution 1:

Delete the file from your .NET application before attempting to
connect (that is all Firebird does when you set the overwrite flag
anyway).

Solution 2:
Your question is about using the .NET components. People in the .NET
list are more likely to know the answer to your question. (link
available from www.firebirdsql.org).
