Hi all, I hope somebody here can help me with a problem I'm having?
I'm having problems with the DDEX with RC1 of the .net 2 data provider.
I followed the instructions I found closely ie.
1) Downloaded and installed the .net provider.
2) Downloaded and installed VS SDK
3) Checked whether the provider assemblies are in GAC. I get the
followign text back;
The Global Assembly Cache contains the following assemblies:
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=3750abcc3150b00c, processorArchitecture=MSIL
Number of items = 1
4) Added the following line to machine.config file.
<configuration> -> <configSections>
add <section name="firebirdsql.data.firebirdclient"
type="System.Data.Common.DbProviderConfigurationHandler, System.Data,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=PublicKeyToken_of_System.Data_assembly" />.
and
<system.data> -> <DbProviderFactories> add <add name="FirebirdClient
Data Provider" invariant="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient"
description=".Net Framework Data Provider for Firebird"
type="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FirebirdClientFactory,
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=PublicKeyToken_of_your_FB_client_assembly" />.
5) Modified the FirebirdDDEXProvider.reg file and made Path="C:\\Program
Files\\FirebirdClient" , and loaded it into the registry.
I then tried to connect to by local Firebird database and got the message;
VSIP: Developer edition, all third-party packages allowed to load.
The Firebird Data Package ({8D9358BA-CCC9-4169-9FD6-A52B8AEE2D50}) did not
load because of previous errors. For assistance, contact the package
vendor.
To attempt to load this package again, type 'devenv /resetskippkgs' at the
command prompt.
When looking at the application event log I have 3 errors that are the
same. The error is;
The description for Event ID (0) in Source (devenv) cannot be found. The
local computermay not have the necessary registry information or message
DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able
to use the /AUXSOURE=flag to retrieve this description; see Help and
Support for details. The following is part of the event:.NET Framework
Data Provider for Firebird: The data provider object factory service was
not found..
Now whenever I try to make ANY connection in VS2005 I get the following
error.
An unexpected error occurred in the .NET Framework Data Provider for
Firebird. Please contact the provider vendor to resolve this problem.
I have not had any previous versions of VS 2005 (beta or anything else),
just the release of VS2005 Professional.
Any idea about how I can get this working?
Many Thanks,
Lee.
P.S. Carlos I have email you on your gmail account with screen shots of
these errors.
