Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider - SQLite

Question

I thought that sqlite was simple but it is giving me a hard time. I just want to create an application where I can connect to a sqlite database using the ado.net entity data

Answer 1

had to add:

 <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>

to my app config file. and it now looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>

  <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0.30319" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client" />
  </startup>
  <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>

In the location where sqlite was installed I had to copy

to my output directory where my program exe is located
