The problem described in the link below (WCF 5.0 & DevArt provider) seems to be also true for the Firebird .NET Provider:
However I’ve tried the 5.1.0-pre release and still get the ArumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: value.
Besides of that the behaviour is exactly the same as described. It did work in the WCF 5.0 CTP, though.
Can anyone confirm that this is a Bug in WCF 5.0 RC or the Firebird .NET Provider? Is there a workaround, or do I have to downgrade to the CTP?

5.1.0-rc build fixes also the problem for the Firebird provider. As Vitek Karas mentioned I forgot to remove the 5.0 RTM from the GAC. Therefore I’ve never really tried 5.1.0-rc.
