While installing the NexusDB ADO Provider, the installer gives the user the choice to install ECO 2 support into the Delphi 2005 IDE. If you have installed Delphi after the ADO.NET Provider or removed the ECO 2 support from the known assemblies list, you can of course install it manually.

Open Delphi and click the Component menu. Select the Installed .NET Components item

netguide_bds_installednetcomponentsmenu

and the according dialog will open. In the dialog look at the Add Components section at the bottom.

netguide_bds_installednetcomponents

Set the Category to "NexusDB" and then press the Select an Assembly button. This will open a file selector dialog, which should be pointed to the ADO Providers install directory (default is c:\program file\NexusDB2\ADOProvider\Bin). Select the file NexusDB.ECO.dll and press ok. The list of components in the dialog should now look similar to this

netguide_bds_ecocomponents

Close the Installed .NET Components dialog and create a new or open a WinForms project. If the form designer is active you now should have a new Toolbox category NexusDB that looks like this:

netguide_bds_ecotoolbox

That's all. The NexusDB ECO 2 Support components are now installed into Delphi 8 or 2005.
