IBProvider v3.24. ISQLServerErrorInfo implementation and Visual Studio 2015 support

We are pleased to announce the new releases of our components for connection to Firebird and InterBase. We have improved error handling for usage of IBProvider as MSSQL linked server and have added support for Visual Studio 2015.

ISQLServerErrorInfo implementation

For handling errors of queries to Firebird and InterBase through MSSQL linked server and «EXEC AT» statement is necessary to check the @@ERROR global variable.

Earlier, @@ERROR always contained a zero value. It complicates errors detection by program.

The new version of IBProvider implements the ISQLServerErrorInfo interface, which eliminates the problem.

For critical errors, this interface will return the MSSQL error code — 18052 (Class 16).

For warnings it will return the MSSQL error code — 14634 (Class 10).

Visual Studio 2015 support

At July 20, 2015 was released the new version of Visual Studio — 2015. As expected, it has a free version — Community Edition.

We have updated our components and now they are supporting infrastructure of Visual Studio 2015.
