C# connecting to Firebird

Question

In most tutorials about connecting to Firebird from C#, they add several DLLs to the project. I downloaded the most recent ADO.NET driver and it included only one DLL file I have to reference to to get everything running. So I think these tutorials are just old and things have changed. Am I right, is it only one DLL I have to add? All works fine, but I don't want my application to give me an error at some point just because I overlooked something.

Answer 1

After installing Firebird ADO.NET Data Provider (4.1.0.0) package from NuGet I've got only one DLL in project output: FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll

So yes, only one DLL. Don't worry and use NuGet

Answer 2

Firebird ADO.NET驱动程序是纯托管C＃驱动程序（它实现了Firebird网络协议），因此是的，您可以仅使用一个dll来使用它，并且不需要fbclient.dll
