hi, i have never tried firebird on windows CE, but i can tell you that you need only as minimum the firebird embedded installation + ADO.net provider to get an SGBD for your app .
for firebird pick the zip archive and extract all the dll inside into your app folder, there is also a readme . for ado.net also picj zip or 7zip archive . the DDEX is only for the IDE integration, for example to be able to use fb in the designer . but you can ignore the ddex and access the firebird engine by code . hope it help 2015-11-28 6:38 GMT+01:00 slucas [email protected] [firebird-support] < [email protected]>: > > > may someone please give me some clarity? i am using visual studio > 2008. i have to use that version to develope an embedded program for a > smart device. so i am locked into VS2008. > > i am trying to find and implement the correct library for fb_client.dll > for use on this windows CE embedded device. i can't for the life of me > figure out what libraries to install for VS2008 that actually work? i > have downloaded the DDEXProvider-3.0.2.0.msi and installed if for > VS2008x32 and x64. is that enough? i have also read that i also need > to install the ADO.NET library. is that true or can i use the DDEX by > itself? > > and if i can use the DDEX library by itself, can someone point me to an > example/tutorial on exactly how to setup a connection, query, sql, > close, close, in pure code please? > > thank you in advance, lucas > >
