Hi all !
 
I'm having a living hell to connect to a firebird database using Mono on a SUSE Linux machine. This is not something I do for fun, but because I'm forced to make something work on Linux. I took me 5 min on Windows, and I've used 5 weeks on Linux. And it's not just because I don't know Linux.
 
 
Ok here's what I have:
 
Lastest Mono (1.2) - and it works
Firebirdsql.data.firebird version 1.7 as it came bundled with this Mono installation.
 
Now, I can't even get passed the connectionstring parameters. I've followed the instructions on the mono page and also Miguel's instructions on this page: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2005/Sep-30-2.html
 
In the uses on top:
using System.Data;
using FirebirdSql.Data.Firebird;
 
Here's my code:
string connectionString = "Database=MYDB.GDB;servertype=1;user=sysdba;password=masterkey;
IDbConnection dbcon = new FbConnection(connectionString);
 
Here's the errormessages (via MonoDevelop):
Cannot convert from 'object' to string (CS1503: Argument1);
The best overloaded method match for 'FirebirdSQL.Data.Firebird.FbConnection.FbConnection(string)' has some invalied arguments(CS1502).
 
Why is this example written as an example on the official Mono site, when it is clearly wrong ?
Has the firebird provider method been changed ?
Does anyone in the world use Firebird with Mono ?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Best wishes
