ok, that is great, less dlls to deal with. so whether i put the FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll in the \windows directory or in the directory right next to the exe, i still get the same error. it throws back:
Error {exe name} MissingMethodException Could not load type 'FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnection' from assembly 'FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient' version 2.5.2.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken={long number} so obviously the exe is calling the FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll properly and that dll is throwing back an error. i think you are correct. i need the same FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll but probably for an older version of .NET. i am thinking for .NET2.0. the thing is that this motorola MT2090 is still a very actively sold device. i am not just doing this for some obsolete hardware. can you please point me to a compiled dll for .NET2.0 CF please? i feel that i am getting close though. thanx for the help, lucas On 12/1/15 5:30 AM, Jiří Činčura wrote: > On Tue, Dec 1, 2015, at 11:18, slucas wrote: >> ok, so i was able to compile with the version linked below. that is a >> start. and i copied the FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient over to the >> scanner's \windows directory. > Why there? > >> so, do i need a version of fbclient.dll on the scanner for the >> FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll to reach the server? or does > No. > >> FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll access it directly? > Yes. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK.
