How to register Firebird data provider for Entity Framework?

问题

How do I register a Firebird data provider to use it with Entity Framework?

What should I do to make it appear in the Entity Data Model Wizard/Choose Data Source window?



I expect it to appear in the Data sources: or Data provider: lists.
Is it possible? Or I need to configure this connection another way?

PS: The provider I'm trying to use is the FirebirdClient 2.5

You have to install DDEX Provider for Visual Studio

Starting with the Firebird .net Provider 3.0 and the DDEX Provider 3.0 there is an installer, where you can select for which VS versions you want the provider to be installed.
