Visual Studio 2013 connection with Firebird -

though not programming specific problem, hope right place ask this.

i'm having problems using firebird db visual studio.

i had installed firebirdclient v4.2.0.0 , ddex v3.0.1.0, in project used newest version of client , there mismatch between 2 when adding new ado.net models (connection in databases window working fine).

so uninstalled v4.2 , installed newest version (4.6.2.0), when try add new connection:

visual studio 2013 pro crashes after entering 1 letter of textboxes:

i tried:

• relaunching vs
• reinstalling both firebirdclient v.4.6.2 , ddex v.3.0.1

but nothing seems help. missed can make work?

i had downloaded nuget packages, since tried closed solution don't suppose project-related issue.

some further notes:

• i've read gac , need of adding assemblies it, far understand, in newest versions of firebird .net provider done automatically

my specs:

• win 8.1 pro
• vs pro 2013
• firebird 2.5.2
• fb .net provider 4.6.2
• ddex 3.0.1

i had same problem , solution uninstall ddex 3.0.1 , fb.net provider. remove firebird entries machine.config provider section. reinstall both , should work again, uninstaller of provider doesn't remove entries visual studio crashes.

the machine config located under:

32-bit %windir%\microsoft.net\framework[version]\config\machine.config

64-bit

%windir%\microsoft.net\framework64[version]\config\machine.config
