Solved… just remember to edit the two machine.config (in Framework and in Framework64) because visual studio is a 32bits app…

This error is documented in this post:

Mismatch between GAC and machine.config. Follow *exactly* the readme and you’ll be fine.

Same as Matt… after a key press in the connection dialog it disappears. I’m using windows 7 x64.

I’m also getting the operation not supported error on FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll. If I install it to the GAC myself, the connection dialog disappears whenever I try to enter anything. I replaced “%Path%” in the .reg using double backslashes and added everything to the .NET 2 Machine.conf. That should work for VS2010, right? Is there any log to check why it isn’t working?

If I drop tables to a Dataset and the Tables have a foreign Key- I always get an Error Message (I translate it here from German, so it may be in english ot exactly the same):
Error merging Objects
Objectlink was not on an Objectinstance

If I remove the Foreign Key everything seems to work!
What todo? Is it a known bug ??

Altough it’s not DDEX, but EF, related, you’re using too old FB server.

Unable to generate the model because of the following exception: ‘An error occurred while executing the command definition. See the inner exception for details.

I’ve been doing these for years, and I get get it to work until I too installed the “FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll” into the gac. It worked in VS 2008 fine, but got the could not load file or assembly message in VS 2010. It works like a charm after that installing into the gac. ???

@Oliver:

I understood form post #24 from cincura.net that I didn’t need to do that. But after I installed the assembly in the GAC …it worked as in VS2005/2008. Problem solved. Thanks!

@Jacob:

Did you try to register “FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll” manually into the gac?

(see my post above)

null: I installed the DDEX for Firebird for Visual Studio 2008 and it worked fine. I tried to install it for Visual Studio 2010 and I get the following error every time I try to connection in the server explorer: Could not load file or assembly ‘[assembly location]‘ or one of it’s dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80131515)

Exactly the same error here. Works fine in VS2008 but not in VS2010 although the keys in the registry are both made for Visual Studio 9.0 and Visual Studio 10.

Problem solved Re: 0×80131515 error.

VS2010RTM and DDEX 2.0.5 was re-installed on 2003SP2 server where VS2010B2 and DDEX 2.0.4 was previously. 2003SP2 security was blocking access to the DDEX 2.0.5 DLLs. Once DDEX 2.0.5 DLLs were unblocked, VS2010 with DDEX worked the same as before.

You’re missing some file(s). Use Process Monitor to see which one(s).

I installed the DDEX for Firebird for Visual Studio 2010B2 and it worked fine. When MS released the full version of VS2010, I tried to re-install the latest version DDEX for Visual Studio 2010RTM and I get the following error every time I try to connection in the server explorer:

Could not load file or assembly ‘C:\FirebirdDDEX\FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll‘ or one of it’s dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80131515)

This assembly doesn’t need to be in GAC.

By: Oliver

Oliver — Sun, 02 May 2010 19:07:16 +0000

I finally got it working.
I simply forgot to install the assembly “FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll” into the gac.
After that everything works fine now.

I’m using DDEX(2.0.5) and VS 2010 with Windows 7 too. Everything is working! Thanks, Jiri.

Same exception (0×80131515) here.
I’m running VS 2010 with Windows 7.

Any ideas?

If you use *.reg files in VS2010 directory, everything is simply working (as in VS2008/2005).
