I want to use Firebird with Entity Framework / ADO.NET.
To do this, I
Then, when I try to create a new ADO.NET Firebird Data Source entity connection, as soon as I change the value of any field in the create connection dialog, I get a huge error and VS restarts.
If i change no field, and I click Test Connection, it shows "Connection Succeeded". If i click OK it says :
"Unable to find the requested .NET Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed". But I just installed it !
It does not do that when I use other providers.
Please help !
This is the error that happens when I try to change a field :

The firebird .net provider setup has an issue, that it leaves old entries in the machine.config. Those duplicate entries cause Visual Studio crashes. after each .net provider update, remove the old entry fro the machine.config, until the bug is fixed and the provider does it on its own. Vote for it in the tracker, maybe the developer fixes it sooner.
