with this code you can create a database:

...
using FirebirdSql.Data.Firebird;
...

FbConnectionStringBuilder builder = new FbConnectionStringBuilder();
builder.DataSource = "COMPUTER_WITH_DATABASE";
builder.UserID = "SYSDBA";
builder.Password = "m*******y";
builder.Database = @"c:\database.fdb";
builder.ServerType = FbServerType.Default;

FbConnection.CreateDatabase(builder.ConnectionString);

FbConnection.CreateDatabase wants string (basically), not a Hashtable, hence this code is not completely correct.
Thank you, FbConnectionStringBuilder is best to use to create the connection string.
What if the database already exists. Does 'Create Database' deletes the old one?
you can just code >>>>>>>> string curFile = @"c:\database.fdb"; if (File.Exists(curFile) == true) { MessageBox.Show("Database is already existing!"); }<<<<<<<<<<< to detect if database is already available hope this help
