Re: [Firebird-net-provider] DDEX Provider installed and works....but not correctly
OH. I was using VS2010 (Runas administrator) and opening the machine.config
file in VS2010's editor.
Just realized that this may be a problem. AS VS2010 itself may be using the
file.
Anyway I'll try those other suggestions thanks.

That is the way I did it too.
Even though you are an administrator you have to run the editing application
with 'Administrative Rights' - run as administrator - in the shortcut
properties of notepad etc.

Trying to use ddex.
I'm having difficulty making changes to my machine.config file.. access
denied. I'm a local admin. But I notice the permissions on this file are locked
down. "Trusted Installer" account has full control rights though?? Any thoughts

Support stuff build on top of it. Connections configurators, wizards,
... and also see DB structure. On the other hand you can step into and
add the support. We'll be happy to include it.

Re: [Firebird-net-provider] How do I generate an EDMX file with Firebird Embedded?
When you find out let me know. From: Rick [mailto:rick__...@hotmail.com] Sent: Sunday, 7 February 2010 5:31 PM To: firebird-net-provider@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Firebird-net-provider] How do I generate an EDMX file with Firebird Embedded? Hello, Win7 Pro 64bit How do I generate an EDMX file (for the Entity Framework - inside of VS2008) geared toward an app that uses the Firebird Embedded version? Going through the steps of adding a new ADO.net Entity Model (within VS2008) I don't see a Firebird provider for a connection when I get to that point of connecting to the Embedded database (VS default GUI for listing available providers for databases when trying to connect to a database). I have tried adding the Firebird.Net Provider v2.5.1 version of the FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll into the GAC etc. but that doesn't have any effect. I have tried installing the DDEX Provider 2.0.4, but that really didn't take (the GUI comes up transparent on the form like its not enabled).

Re: [Firebird-net-provider] VS to Firebird
If I knew how to do it I’d gladly contribute and write the instructions. I didn’t get the firebird Database for free. It was foisted upon me by a third party Software program the company uses. I want to integrate the business processes. We have SQL, JADE and Firebird Databases that need to “talk” with each other . So I’ll need to access 2 Firebird Databases. Read access is fine. I don’t own the data structure but I do own the data. I’m not complaining because something has gone bad. I’m complaining because nothing has gone right. Nothing personal guys. Firebird is a great product. I’m just frustrated I can’t work with it in VS yet. Surely there is someone out there that can. And is willing to help me understand where I’m going wrong. It may be that this is a VS problem not a firebird problem. PS. I do a lot of work for charity. I contribute to user groups all over the world. I am not looking for a free ride , nor am I lazy. I am a developer. That often means I’m still working at 3am and drinking way too much Mountain Dew. I apologise for being rude.

I was going to write a rude answer ... but as i'm out of the project now, i will simply say that if i was Jiri i will *never* do the installer for the DDEX provider, never, never, never ( it's a tool for developers, and if you think the instructions in the readme aren't clear enough you could try to explain what parts of it aren't clear, to update them, instead of being complaining ... ). There are tons of people using the provider ( that has a *lot* of really nice features ) but only a *few* ( really *few* ) of them contributing to the project ( i don't know if there are more people that Jiri right now, that has done a really nice job since i left the project ... and before too ;) ), and there are a lot of areas where people can help, but ... looks like it's nice to get all for free without doing nothing, and complaint when somethings goes bad or didn't work as you expect and with the time really is discouraging ( at least for me it was at the time ) -- Carlos Guzmán Álvarez Vigo-Spain http://carlosga.wordpress.com -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
