title: Firebird NET Provider and Visual Studio 2012
body: <p>I've installed Firebird NETProvider and DDEXProvider on Windows 8 Enterprise (64-bit) with Visual Studio 2012 Premium successfully: I added a connection in Server Explorer and was able to see the database-objects.
  However, when I install other extensions (Web Essentials, Power Tools, Resharper) I loose my previously saved connection and I'm unable to re-create it, because the Firebird NETProvider is no longer available. The same result after installing Windows updates (KB2781514), concerning a fix for VS2012.
  Re-installing the NETProvider and DDEXProvider causes problems in the VS-configuration (double entries of dataproviders, etc.).</p>
  
  <p>I'm unsure in using the Firebird NETProvider in a project with legacy Firebird-database) , because it seems to be unstable in VS2012.
  Hopefully someone can help me.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks in advance</p>
