What’s better than finding what you need to fix for upcoming release of product? 
I get finally Visual Studio 2010 CTP up and running and decided to test whether DDEX provider for Firebird is working fine with it (else I need to find why not and fix these issues). Luckily it’s working fine. I’ve changed reg files appropriately for VS2010 and modified machine.config for .NET FW 4.0. No problem, 10 minutes and it was done.
Check this out. Nice, isn’t it?

Hi,
I have installed VS2010 Beta 2. How can I install Firebird DDEX?

Similar way as for VS2008 or VS2005: http://firebird.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/firebird/NETProvider/trunk/DataDesignerExtensibility/ReadMe.txt?view=markup .

USING DDEX Instructions
I think I have successfully installed the dll into the GAC
I’m at the step of changing my machine.config
(I have VS2010 beta2)
There seems to be a number of machine.config files on my computer
I have edited each one. None of it makes any difference to my data providers displayed in VS2010

Then you did it wrong (I suppose you did other steps as well). Double check the paths in registry and also proper content in machine.config.

Connected DDEX with vs2010B2. Works fine except for one problem: When i reverse-engineer an entity model from the Firebird 2.1.2 database, all the “fields” in the entity are set as Entity keys. Am using provider 2.5.1. I cleared off all the entity keys setting except the real ones in the entities, but this still causes errors between the mapping of the entity and the table. The table still has all its fields set as key fields.
Anyone have this problem or figure out a way around it?
regards,

Hi, Jiri.
Where can I download DDEX for Firebird and Visual Studio 2010 with correct *.reg files and actual installation instructions?

As the VS2010 isn’t RTM yet, you have to get the reg files from SVN. When the RTM will be ready, we’ll publish update DDEX package.

When should we expect your update DDEX package?

As I said. When the RTM will be ready.
