Subject Re: Setting up firebird for visual studio
Author Aleksa Ristic

Last week I am trying to set up my new computer for Visual Studio programming with Firebird databases. Problem is I tried everything in my power but when i try to connect to Firebird database via Server Explorer in VS, window for Firebird just shut down.

These are things I already tried:

  • Reinstall Firebird 3.0
  • Reinstall ADO.NET
  • Reinstall DDEX
  • Check machine.config for duplicate DbProbiders
  • Reinstall Visual Studio 15
  • Uninstall Firebird 3.0 and install Firebird 2.1 (already worked with it some time ago)
  • Reinstall Windows 10
  • Uninstall Windows 10 and install Windows 7

These are steps I do to install Firebird in VS

  • Install Firebird 3.0
  • Install ADO.NET
  • Install DDEX
  • Insert provider to VS via NuGet

After installation I can see Firebird provider in my list when adding database but when I open it and start typing or changing something, it just closes.

If there is any other info I can give you, please tell me.

Here is my machine.config
