Your URL reference fb3embedded\\fbclient.dll, but that DDL is not found
(or possibly it is 32 bit and your code runs 64 bit or vice versa).

BTW: If you want to connect to a Firebird server instead of using
Firebird Embedded, you don't need this, and it would mean that you
specified the wrong server type.

Also, your question is more suitable for the firebird-net-provider list,
at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/firebird-net-provider
