ADO.NET
The InterBase ADO.NET driver for Visual Studio, made available as a Nuget package and listed in the Visual Studio marketplace, offers Visual Studio 2019 IDE integration and full support for ADO.NET and the Entity Framework.
The newly released NuGet package for Visual Studio includes a brand new ADO.NET driver for InterBase along with several additional features for a great integration with the Visual Studio IDE and the overall .NET platform. This new driver is a complete rewrite of the previous InterBase ADO.NET driver.
The NuGet packages and the driver include:
- Core ADO.NET framework support and integration, including both InterBase server and the local, embedded IBLite/IBToGo (see image below)

- InterBase XE or above
