Once I have the fat HDD hardware: - Download PS2 ISOs (I have 105 or so PS2 games. Assume I own physical copies of them all and for time sake I am DLing files versus ripping, to avoid derailing this thread) - Transfer PS2 ISOs to HDD via IDE to USB adapter and WINHIIP software - Play PS2 games directly off HDD via OPL - Play PS2 import ISOs via HDD via OPL (NiGHTS!) - Play.avi 720 x 480p movies via SMS - Play MP3s via SMS - Install & test multiple emulators What I'm not looking to do: - Play games via slim 1.1 USB ports. Not into the skipping cut scenes & possible lag (I may test this for fun, but not a long term solution for me) - Use PS2 disc drive to rip games to HDD. Ps2 hdloader 08c iso. - WINHIIP (to transfer ISOs to HDD) - FMCB (of course) Also will try: - Multiple Emulators (NES, Genesis, SNES, DOS, Sinclair, Neo Geo CD) Goals: - Tinker with FMCB on my exisiting PS2 Slim first to learn ins/outs of apps/GUI/file system while acquiring 'fat' and HDD setup. Will be transferring ISOs via PC to IDE HDD.

The Entity Framework provider for Firebird enables you to develop.NET applications that connect to. Install-Package EntityFramework.Firebird -Version 6.5.0.

Visual Studio Integration Npgsql has a Visual Studio extension (VSIX) which integrates PostgreSQL access into Visual Studio. It allows connecting to PostgreSQL from within Visual Studio's Server Explorer, create an Entity Framework 6 model from an existing database, etc.

The extension can be installed directly from. The VSIX doesn't automatically add Npgsql to your GAC, App.config, machines.config or any other project or system-wide resource. It only allows accessing PostgreSQL from Visual Studio itself.

Visual Studio Compatibility The VSIX extension has been tested and works on Visual Studio 2015 and 2017. It is probably compatible with versions all the way back to 2012, but these haven't been tested. Note that installing into pre-2015 versions will display a warning, although it should be safe to proceed. Upgrading from an older version Note that the extension has been pretty much rewritten for Npgsql 3.2 - if you encountered installation issues with previous versions, these issues should hopefully be gone. A summary of work done for 3.2.

If you already have an earlier version of the VSIX (or MSI) installed, it's highly recommended that you uninstall them to avoid conflicts. It is no longer necessary or recommended to have Npgsql in your GAC, or to have Npgsql listed in your machines.config.

Simply installing the VSIX should work just fine, and a GAC/machines.config may actually cause issues. If you previously installed Npgsql into your GAC/machines.config, it's recommended you uninstall it. If you have any entries (binding redirects, DbProviderFactory registrations) in either your machines.config or in your Visual Studio setup (e.g. App.config, devenv.exe.config), please remove them The VSIX should work on a totally clean setup. Features The provider isn't feature complete - please let us know of missing features or bugs by opening issues.

Server Explorer You can add a PostgreSQL database in Server Explorer, explore tables and columns, send ad-hoc queries, etc. Entity Framework 6 The extension supports generating a model from an existing database. To do so, install EntityFramework6.Npgsql into your project, and then make sure you have the same version of Npgsql as your extension does. A mismatch between the version installed in your project and the VSIX's may cause issues. Development Development on the VSIX is currently possible only on Visual Studio 2017.

Be sure to install the 'Visual Studio extension development' workload.

Contents • • • • • • Install Firebird Client Library The first step in this process is to install the Firebird.NET Client Library, which can be downloaded from the. Download the client library and install it in its default location. Add the Providers to the Registry Now download the DDEX Provider and.NET Data Provider installers from the, you can find the DDEX installer at the bottom of the page. Run the installers, installing the providers in the C: Program Files FirebirdClient directory.

Once these are installed you need to edit the FirebirdDDEXProviderPackageLess32.reg or FirebirdDDEXProviderPackageLess64.reg if you are running a 64 bit operating system. Locate the%path% marker and replace it with the install path of the providers. With the default install you should end up with the following. Warning: Make sure you use as the path separators, e.g.

C: Program Files FirebirdClient Update the machine.config The next step involves the modification of your machine.config. You can locate this file in either C: WINDOWS Microsoft.NET Framework v2.0.50727 CONFIG machine.config or C: WINDOWS Microsoft.NET Framework64 v2.0.50727 CONFIG machine.config on 64-bit systems. Open the file with any text editor, it contains XML configuration details used to configure.NET applications running on this machine.

Installing the Embedded Driver At this stage the required changes have been made for Visual Studio to present its designers, allowing you to configure connections, data adapters, data sources, and table adapters etc. If you are using an embedded database you will also need to install the database drivers so that Visual Studio can load these to interact with your databases.
