Firebird connection error after converting project from VS2005 to VS2008

Question

I have a queer problem. I was working on a project with firebird 1.5.6 .NET provider and Visual Studio 2005. Everything worked fine. Then I converted the project to a VS2008 project. Now I have the problem that when I'm trying connecting to firebird database I get the an error:

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index.

The error shows even as I open the connection. I got this error in server type = Default but if I set server type = Embedded then I have the possiblity to open the connection.

I tried to run my project on an other pc and there it works.

What could be the problem?

Answer 2

I have this same error on connect to Interbase. I fix it.

1. Download Source code NETProvider-2.6.5-src.7z

2. Edit file GdsDatabase.cs replace line return this.GetDatabaseInfo(items, IscCodes.BUFFER_SIZE_256)[0].ToString();
   this
   ArrayList ar = this.GetDatabaseInfo(items, IscCodes.BUFFER_SIZE_256); if (ar.Count > 0) return ar[0].ToString(); else return String.Empty;

3. Rebuild project

Done
