I followed the instructions in the documentation:
Scenario 1: Version Independent (does not use the Global Assembly Cache)
This method allows you to drop any new
version of the System.Data.SQLite.DLL
into your application's folder and use
it without any code modifications or
recompiling. Add the following code
to your app.config file:
<configuration>
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<remove invariant="System.Data.SQLite"/>
<add name="SQLite Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SQLite"
description=".Net Framework Data Provider for SQLite" type="System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteFactory, System.Data.SQLite" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
</configuration>
My app.config file now looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
<section name="DataFeed.DataFeedSettings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<userSettings>
<DataFeed.DataFeedSettings>
<setting name="eodData" serializeAs="String">
<value>False</value>
</setting>
</DataFeed.DataFeedSettings>
</userSettings>
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<remove invariant="System.Data.SQLite"/>
<add name="SQLite Data Provider"
invariant="System.Data.SQLite"
description=".Net Framework Data Provider for SQLite"
type="System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteFactory, System.Data.SQLite" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
</configuration>
My project is called "DataFeed":
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Data.SQLite; //<-- Causes compiler error
namespace DataFeed
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
}
}
}
The error I get is:
.\dev\DataFeed\Program.cs(5,19):
error CS0234: The type or namespace
name 'SQLite' does not exist in the
namespace 'System.Data' (are you
missing an assembly reference?)
I'm not using the GAC, I simply dropped the System.Data.SQLite.dll into my .\dev\DataFeed\ folder. I thought that all I needed to do is add the DLL to the project folder as it was mentioned in the documentation. Any hints on how to actually make this work?
