TransactionScope and SQLite database gets locked

Question

I am trying to use Entity Framework 6 with SQLite and running into a database locked issue when trying to use TransactionScope. Here is my code:

Answer 1

One common situation to cause this problem is that another application is accessing the same database.

In my situation it’s because that I opened the database with DB Browser for SQLite, deleted a database table and not applying the changes.

Clicking Write Changes (or Revert Changes or Close Database) and the error will be gone.
