Firebird: An unhandled exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred in FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll

Question

I am creating a project windows runtime component(with c#), and I want to use embedded DB so I added Firebird-2.5.2.26540-0_x64_embed and .net component NETProvider-2.5.2-CF. Every time when I am performing any action on FBcommand and FBConnection i am getting error "An unhandled exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred in FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll"

I can't use terget framework because its WinRT(c#) project...

You already asked in Firebird's list (lists actually). Why cross-posting? — cincura.net, Feb 10 '14 at 11:45
@cincura.net I believe it was posted before you answered it on the Firebird .NET mailinglist. — Mark Rotteveel, Feb 11 '14 at 09:57

Note this answer is actually by @cincura.net on the Firebird .NET mailinglist. I am just posting it here for completeness:

The ADO.NET stack is not available in WinRT, hence you cannot use any database access. The CF version didn't helped either.

See How should a Windows 8 Metro Application connect to a central database? and How might a Windows 8 Metro app handle back end database access? for potential solutions.
