Hi,
I read somewhere (probably Firebird's site) that Firebird supports Entity Model with its data provider for .NET. While working on .NET 4.0 application, I tried to add Firebird data source to my model, but Firebird is not listed in the available data sources. Visual Studio 2010 only lists SQL Server databases.
In search of an alternative, I downloaded Telerik OpenAccess ORM Free Edition, as it supports a variety of databases. I am facing the same problem with it.
I have installed Firebird 2.5 latest release with all the .NET and ODBC drivers. I have also modified machine.config file to register FirebirdDDE files. Still I am unable to make Firebird work with any of the ORM tools.
Regards,
Rohit.
