I would suggest that the version 2.x of the Firebird ADO.Net provider would be the last version to support .Net 2.0. And, that Firebird ADO.Net provider version 3.0+ will support .Net 3.5(with EF installed) and .Net 4(EF already included). And, of what I can see, there will most likely need two distributions(one for .Net 3.5 and the other for .Net 4), read it as being that the provider is compiled for each .Net version. > 2.

If it is to drop the support for VS2005 DDEX, then it would be to still keep it available for download, for those that might still need it. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Solutions Inc.
