Using the following fbclient: http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird/files/firebird-net-provider/3.0.2/NETProvider-3.0.2.0.msi/download titled "Version 3.0.2 for .NET 4.5/3.5/2.0 with Entity Framework support" on a system with 4.0.3 only, I get the following exception: Could not load type 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ExtensionAttribute' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. I get this exception whenever an FBException should be raised. Provider itself is working fine. Using instead the following fbclient: http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird/files/firebird-net-provider/3.0.2/NETProvider-3.0.2.0-NET40.7z/download titled "FirebirdClient - .NET 4.0, 7-Zip archive" on a system with 4.0.3 only, I do get the expected FBException No problem for me, once I know what to load where and where to install. I don't know if this will be a problem for others, though. I found the following answer which seems realistic to me, though I never used ILMerge and can't check too deep what else it might affect: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/726702/moving-system-runtime-compilerservices-extensionattribute-to-mscorlib-breaks-structuremap-scans-of-namespaces-containing-extensionmethods-and-possibly-other-ioc-scenarios ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
