Firebird exposes a C API. But there are different libraries that are
based on this which allow easy access to Firebird in your favorite
development environment. E.g IBPP for C++, IBObjects for Delphi and
C++ Builder, and Firebird .Net Provider for .Net.

You can read more about the .Net Provider here:
http://www.firebirdsql.org/dotnetfirebird/index.html

I think you should ask in the .Net provider mailing list for specific
suggestions on converting your code:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-net-provider

And you might get some help on migration in the conversions list, too:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ib-conversions/

If you have questions related to Firebird Server, SQL satements, the
client API, or just want to know where to ask your question then feel
free to post here. But I think you will get the best .Net answers on
the provider list, because the provider is an independent sub-project.
