I'm building a Windows 8 app, and now I want to use SQLite for this app. I installed SQLite for Windows Runtime
through the Visual Studio 2013 extension manager, and I added sqlite-net
to my project through NuGet.
I'm trying to create a database in my app.xaml.cs OnLaunched
, but I get this exception when I run the project:
Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
This is very strange because there is no error during compiling. Anyway, I think it tries to tell me that I need to reference an additional DLL: sqlite3.dll
, but that doesn't work. I have 6 different DLLs on my file system: both debug and release versions of ARM, x64 and x86. I tried adding the x86 release version to my project but that results in this exception:
A reference to 'C:\Users\Leon\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Googalytics\packages\SQLite\x86\sqlite3.dll' could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.
It's very sad that the documentation for sqlite-net sucks, it's very outdated (examples don't even work anymore), it's very incomplete and there is no mention of manually adding a DLL either. So I have 2 questions:
- How do I fix this particular issue?
- Where do I find up to date documentation for sqlite-net?
Edit: the code I use to create the DB is:
private void InitializeDatabase()
{
var db = new SQLiteConnection("Googalytics");
db.CreateTable<Account>();
db.CreateTable<WebProperty>();
db.CreateTable<Profile>();
}
I call that method from here:
InitializeDatabase();
if (rootFrame.Content == null)
{
// When the navigation stack isn't restored navigate to the first page,
// configuring the new page by passing required information as a navigation
// parameter
if (!rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(MainPage), args.Arguments))
{
throw new Exception("Failed to create initial page");
}
}
// Ensure the current window is active
Window.Current.Activate();
edit2: some more info about my setup:
- Visual Studio 2013 RC
- Windows 8.1 RTM
- SQLite for Windows Runtime 3.8.0.2
- sqlite-net 1.0.7
