Hello!

I would like to update model from a Firebird database in Visual Studio. I followed this tutorial: https://www.ibprovider.com/eng/documentation/connection_to_firebird_in_visual_studio_2017_via_ddex_provider.html In Server Explorer, I successfully connected to database. When I added the ADO.NET Entity Data Model to the project, and I would like to use EF Designer from database, then I would like to change the connection/Data source (or create an empty model, then I would like to upgrade from database), it doesn't showing up the Firebird Data Source.

Setup:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.9.2
  • Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.8.04.084
  • LCPI Data OLE DB Visual Studio Extension [v2][Provider: FW4.6.2][DDEX: FW4.7.2] - 1.21.1.4247

Installed NuGet Packages:

  • EntityFramework.Firebird v7.10.1
  • FirebirdSQL.Data.FirebirdClient
Thanks for any response
regards
Tibor

Any reason to use EF6 and not EF Core? EF6 is a dead end.

I think his reason is the same as mine, because EF Core is not fully compatible with windows forms!
