PM> Install-Package FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient In the ' Additional Downloads ' subsection you can find packed binary versions of provider and DDEX provider. Join Firebird! A data designer extensibility provider (DDEX provider) is an implementation of the DDEX support entities, including XML files for describing the data object hierarchy and their views, Visual Studio command table.vsct) files, and registry entries.

I've installed the latest Firebird ADO.Net Provider (FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient-4.5.1.0.msi) and the latest Firebird DDEX Provider (DDEXProvider-3.0.1.0.msi). Both providers are registered in GAC. FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bae6c78ccb0fcdb3, processorArchitecture=MSIL FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient, Version=4.5.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3750abcc3150b00c, processorArchitecture=MSIL The Firebird ADO.Net Provider is also registered in the 'DbProviderFactories' Node of the machine.config (for both x86 and x64). I'm trying to create a new Database Connection using the DDEX Provider in VS2013 SP3, but it's not working. When I change any values in the 'Firebird Data Source' connection dialog, the dialog disappears. Tuchka tv plejlist m3u. I debugged VS2013 in background with a 2nd VS2013 Instance and got this Output messages, while the connection dialog disappears: FbDataConnectionUIControl::LoadProperties() Eine Ausnahme (erste Chance) des Typs 'System.NullReferenceException' ist in FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll aufgetreten. System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.

Bei FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.FbDataConnectionUIControl.LoadProperties() FbDataConnectionUIControl::LoadProperties() Eine Ausnahme (erste Chance) des Typs 'System.NullReferenceException' ist in FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll aufgetreten. System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt. Bei FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.FbDataConnectionUIControl.LoadProperties() Eine Ausnahme (erste Chance) des Typs 'System.NullReferenceException' ist in FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll aufgetreten. Any ideas how I can get the provider to run or where I can look for other prerequisites? I had a similar problem and after a week of googling I think I have found a fix. Download and install the following: • Visual Studio SDK • Firebird ADO.NET Data Provider • Firebird DDEX Provider When installing the providers, make sure to click on the 'Advanced' button. This is needed for installing the DDEX provider as it will give you a chance to choose which versions of Visual Studio it will get installed on.

Installation on the GAC and registry should be taken care of by the DDEX installer.
