Getting Started (DDEX) • • 2 minutes to read In this article The Data Designer Extensibility (DDEX) SDK provides documentation, samples, and resources to help you implement a DDEX provider for exposing third-party data source objects in Visual Studio. DDEX providers allow you to expose objects from virtually any data source. What Is DDEX?

DDEX enhances the Visual Studio design-time experience by allowing data designers to communicate with third-party data sources and their object hierarchies. At its highest level, DDEX defines a systematic approach to extending data designers and data-related features of Visual Studio.

More practically, this involves two architectural pillars: • DDEX consumes a set of common support entities that are extended by specialized data providers that are called DDEX providers. These support entities are managed classes that support such things as data-command handling, object enumeration, data-connection support, data-object support, view support, and numerous other important capabilities. The Visual Studio services expose user-level functionality for these capabilities. • DDEX provides a set of Visual Studio services that expose functionality that has been provided by the support entities.

Some of the more important Visual Studio services include the following: • DDEX data-object factory ( class). Provides a way to create connection-related objects. • DDEX Provider manager ( class). Allows you to enumerate registered DDEX providers and query for objects of a specific type. • Data-connection dialog box ( class). Allows you to assemble information for creating data connections and gathering your provider's object-factory requirements.

• Data-connection factory ( class). Allows you to create your data-connection objects.

With DDEX, data objects from virtually any source can participate in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE), appear as an object hierarchy in Server Explorer, and participate fully in the drag-and-drop design-time experience. Exposing third-party data-source objects in Visual Studio requires, in addition to a DDEX provider, one XML file that defines your data object types and another that describes your data view hierarchies. These XML files must validate against schemas defined in DataObjectSupport.xsd and DataViewSupport.xsd. These XSD files ship with the DDEX SDK and are installed (by default) at drive: Program Files Visual Studio 2008 SDK build number VisualStudioIntegration Common Schemas. Both of these schema definition (.xsd) files are documented in the.

In addition to your DDEX provider and XML files, you may need to use members of the DDEX managed class library reference. In This Section • A high-level discussion of the architecture of data designer extensibility. • Top-level topic in a node that provides detailed documentation of DDEX data object support. • Top-level topic in a node that provides detailed documentation of DDEX data view support.

• A discussion of steps required for validating an installation of a data provider. • Reference documentation for the two DDEX schemas. DataObjectSupport.xsd and DataViewSupport.xsd. Related Sections • The Integration section of the Visual Studio SDK provides tools and resources to help develop your VSPackage.

I am struggling creating a Firebird connection in Visual Studio 2015. I have a C# class library with which I would like to connect to a Firebird database.

I installed these plugins from NuGet: But when I try to add a new Item 'ADO.NET Entity Data Model' with 'EF Designer from database', the Firebird connection is not listed: Reading articles on the internet showed that an entry in machine.config should have been made. But this didn't happen. There is no Firebird entry in that config file.
