I'm using RemObjects Hydra as the plugin architecture, for our application, and it's Hydra that loads the .Net assembly DLL. The DLL is ComVisible. But other than looking in Hydra's code, I can't say how the DLL is loaded. Again thanks for the information. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Solutions Inc.

Sorry, for not being clearer.
Here's the exact error message, that I receive when running from
Visual Studio:
[Error Message Quote]
An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in
EntityFramework.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: No Entity Framework provider found for the
ADO.NET provider with invariant name
'FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient'. Make sure the provider is
registered in the 'entityFramework' section of the application config
file. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more
information.
[/Error Message Quote]
Here's the code that I use:
using (var db = new FiloptoDataLibrary.FiloptoQuickBooksModel(new
FbConnection(vFBConnectionString.ToString()), true))
{
...
}
The FiloptoQuickBooksModel is inherited from DbContext, and was
created by the Entity Framework Tools Code First from Database wizard.
The vFBConnectionString is a FbConnectionStringBuilder.
And, in the project's App.Config, all the entries are there. But, the
project compiles to a .dll and doesn't have a .config file with
it(when compiled). And, since the application that is calling this
.dll is not a .Net application(it's a native Win32 Delphi
application), I am trying to find out how to setup the entity
framework provider for usage in the .dll. And, since it is possible to
register the entity framework provider in code, in EF6, I'm wondering
what would be the required code, when trying to follow the example
from Microsoft, provided in the link of my previous message.
I am using Visual Studio 2015, EF 6.1.3 and targetting .Net 4.6.2.
I did thought of using the EntityConnectionStringBuilder, but it is
looking for the metadata files(.csdl, .ssdl, .msl), which don't exist
in my case. Unless, there is a way to tell it to ignore the metadata
files, when using the EntityConnectionString, because at least here I
would be able to specify the provider.
If more information is needed, just let me know.

Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Entity Framework 6
Well, you're not saying anything specific about the exception (at least which provider - EF or ADO.NET?) nor how's the assembly loaded (because you can as well use the config file, depending on how it's loaded). Let's guess that it's a ADO.NET provider, then you're probably missing the DbProviderFactory piece (https://github.com/cincuranet/EF6_Firebird/blob/master/CodeFirst/App.config#L12). With that, I would go the easiest way and pass directly FbConnection to DbContext's ctor. -- Mgr.

I have have had problems using Windows Entity Data Framework. In some cases, I can't open an edmx file in Visual Studio (that I had compiled from scanning a database perhaps a year earlier, always receiving "Provider Not Found." Very frustrating.
