ASP.NET connection string help

I copied this connection string from the Firebird DotNet provider help, but I can't seem to get it to work. Is there perhaps something I'm missing?

Thanks for any help!

Connect string:
--------------------------------
"User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;Database=theDBName.GDE;DataSource=localhost;Port=3050;Dialect=3;Chars et=ISO8859_1;Role=;Connection lifetime=30;Pooling=true;Packet Size=8192;"

The exception is as follows:
-------------------------------
Exception Details: FirebirdSql.Data.INGDS.GDSException: Exception of type FirebirdSql.Data.INGDS.GDSException was thrown.

The error is this:
-------------------------------
FbException: I/O error during "CreateFile (open)" operation for file "theDBName.GDE"
Error while trying to open file

>>theDBName.GDE

Did you write exactly this?????

The exact name of the database is "CONVBDE.GDE"

So the exact connection string is as follows:

"User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;Database=CONVBDE.GDE;DataSource=localhost;Port=3050;Dialect=3;Charset =ISO8859_1;Role=;Connection lifetime=30;Pooling=true;Packet Size=8192;"

Also, if I replace

Database=CONVBDE.GDE;

with

Database=c:\\FirebirdData\\CONVBDE.GDE;

I get the same error.

It's perplexing!

.GDE? isn't .GDB or .FDB?
