If you are using the latest DDEX provider and you follow the instruction
in the DDEX read me, you may run into a problem if you do not change the
%placeholder%, also there is a typo which I will show you how to fix in
the machine.config entries.
First, you need to make sure in the registry entries you used that you
fix this error
Line 14
Is
"CodeBase"="%Path\\%FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll"
Should be
"CodeBase"="%Path%\\FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll"
Next if you look at the read me file in ddex install folder you need to
add a couple of line into your machine.config file
The lines doesn't match the newest provider so you may need to change
this, and in the second entry the version, culture, and public key are
all using placeholders. You need to define the place holders to use the
correct entries. The first example is what it is out of the box, the
second is what it should be. I have experienced this problem when any of
the entries are not correct.
IS
<configuration>
<configSections>
...
<section name="firebirdsql.data.firebirdclient"
type="System.Data.Common.DbProviderConfigurationHandler, System.Data,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />

FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient, Version=%Version%, Culture=%Culture%,
PublicKeyToken=%PublicKeyToken%" />
...
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
....
</configuration>
What it Should be
<configuration>
<configSections>
...
<section name="firebirdsql.data.firebirdclient"
type="System.Data.Common.DbProviderConfigurationHandler, System.Data,
Version=2.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3750abcc3150b00c" />
