I finally remembered the additional step ... described in StackOverflow:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//To install Firebird: Visual Studio 2013 -> File -> New -> Project,
etc. ---------- then Tools -> Library Package Manager -> Manage NuGet
//Packages -> search "firebird" -> Firebird ADO.NET Data provider ->
Install (button).
//
//Resulted in 1) References -> FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient, and 2)
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.5.8.0 subdir ... with Firebird .dll's.
//add using FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient;
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!stackoverflow.com/questions/42864674/how-do-i-create-a-firebird-database-file-programmatically!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
//
//From www.firebirdsql.org/en/firebird-3-0/ ... downloaded
Firebird-3.0.2.32703-0_x64.zip
//
//Unzipped into temporary subdir (Unzip)
//
//Created fb3embedded subdir in project subdir ... next to bin, obj, etc.
//
//Move from Unzip subdir to fb3embedded subdir
// intl folder and all contents
// plugins\engine12.dll
// fbclient.dll
// firebird.msg
// icu*
// msvcp100.dll
// msvcr100.dll
//
// add to the code public const string stCLIENT_LIBRARY =
@"..\..\fb3embedded\fbclient.dll";
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
