Lee: I got messed up before but with a fresh install of all I get working all ok.
Steps: - Uninstall ALL: VS, VS SDK and FB .Net provider. - Install VS. - Install VS SDK (I use April 2006 version). - Install FB .Net provider RC4. The only problem I have now is with BLOB fields of type TEXT. - Modify machine.conf. Before this, you should make a backup. - Modify the FB provider's .reg file and import to the registry. - REBOOT your computer. I you want to "un-mess" your VS, just remove FB's entries from machine.conf, remove FB provider's entries from the registry then reboot your computer.

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. ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
