Hi,
I've been trying to get the Firebird ADO.NET Provider to work in Visual
Studio2013 in order to reverse engineer my Firebird database in EF6, but no
matter how I go about installing, I keep getting a ton of different error
messages and weird behavior. Many of these, I have later been able to
eliminate by reinstalling my .Net versions.
I think maybe there were some configuration errors there, but that should be
sorted out now. All .Net verification tests I have run says they're all OK.
I have messed around with both the MSI installers (NetProvider 4.1.0.0 and
DDEX 3.0.1) found on http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/net-provider/, and NuGet
packages in Visual Studio 2013.
It seems to me that I needed to manually download the MSI installers for
NetProvider and DDEX in order to get the Server Explorer connection to
function in VStudio, and that the NuGet packages are only necessary for the
project references?
Anyway; at this point, I have a situation where I can successfully add the
database to the Server Explorer in VS, but when I try to Update model from
database on an empty edmx file in my project, it says:
Your project references the latest version of Entity Framework; however, an
Entity Framework database provider compatible with this version could not be
found for your data connection. Exit this wizard, install a compatible
provider, and rebuild your project before performing this action. Above
this text, the only option is Entity Framework 6.0, and it is checked and
disabled (as it's the only choice).
Viewing NuGet packages for project, I do have both the EntityFramework
(v6.0.2) and Firebird ADO.NET Data provider (Entity Framework 6) (v6.0.2),
but anyhow it still says the NetProvider is not compatible with EF6? I have
tried both .Net framework 4 and 4.5, but they both failed the same way.
I've scoured the net (and this list) in search of correct installation
procedures, but have come up short so far...
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? This is really getting quite
frustrating now.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated! J
Regards,
Morten
