It has nothing to do with connection string.
That pointed me in the right direction. I have found (rather a quick test I'm afraid - will do more testing here later) that I have to strictly use the 32bit fbembed.dll in my application... and that I also have to strictly target x86 cpu under the advanced compile settings. Then the connection strings were fine. If I have the compile settings set to -AnyCPU- (both x64 and x86) and try and use the 64 bit fbembed.dll in the debug folder I get an error that it can not find the fbembed.dll file. More testing later...
