Connecting to FireBird without network thru .NET Provider

Hi,
I am using FireBird server 1.5 with FireBird .NET provider 1.5 to access to it.
I´m using this string connection to connect with the server:

string connectionString =
"User=SYSDBA; " +
"Password=masterkey; " +
"Database=D:\\SYSTEM\\SYSTEM.GDB;" +
"DataSource=localhost;" +
"Port=3050; " +
"Dialect=3; " +
"Charset=NONE; " +
"Role=; " +
"Connection lifetime=15; " +
"Pooling=true; " +
"Packet Size=8192";

I need to use Firebird .NET Provider without network services. I have used before ODBC drivers but the performance of them are not the same than the .NET one.
I´m having troubles with the DataSource parameter when there is no net.
Is there any way to use this provider without network services?
Thanks

Hi,

Doesn't it work with "localhost"?

No... It doesn´t work. Localhost is resolved by TCP/IP as 127.0.0.1. We don´t have TCP/IP installed in the machine... thus FbConnection can´t resolve Datasource location and throws an exception.
We´re trying now to connect the application to an embedded firebird server but we can´t connect with the Firebird .NET provider 1.5.4. version. We are using this connection string now:

string connectionString =
"User=SYSDBA; " +
"Password=masterkey; " +
"Database=D:\\SISTEM\\SISTEM.GDB;" +
"Dialect=3; " +
"ServerType= 1;";

This connection string works perfectly with the 1.6. .NET provider version but when we use it with 1.5.4. version the FbConnection object throws this message:
"Unable to complete network request to host \"D\".\n"
Is there any way to connect with an embedded firebird version with the 1.5.4. Firebird .NET Provider connection?

I thought the 1.5.4 .Net Provider can't be used embeded only 1.6?

You might want to check if connecting to Embedded is new for 1.6 ... that might give you a clue.

Anyway, apparently, it doesn't work with v < 1.6 - so you're out of luck with that.
