Hi, I've already used DDEX for FirebirdClient with VS 2008 without problem on machine with: WinXp Pro SP2 with VS2005 SP1.
Now I've moved to different system with WinXP Pro. There has been VS 2005 Express already installed. Then I've installed VS 2008 and Firebird .NET Client and FirebirdClient DDEX. Without success. I've read all docs on the internet. No success. During adding datasource in Server Explorer panel VS shows a message with error in FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient with guid id. I've changed machine.config a couple of times. Clean registers and so on. I've created a new project. And I put FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.FBDataConnectionUI on the form. But compilation hasn't succeeded. Error message explained that FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools depends on assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data, Version=8.0.0.0 and also on Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI Version=8.0.0.0 I thing that this is the reason that Firebird data provider caused error during open a Data Source add dialog in VS2008. Than I've installed VS2005 and VS2005_SP1. And now I can add Connection to Firebird in Server explorer panel.
