![]() NOTE: sqlite-net is available as source in C#. I personally recommend the sqlite-net library (available via NuGet) to make this easier for you. Now with this involved you can grab a managed wrapper to call the SQLite APIs as I’ve previously described in my HOWTO video. Failure to do so will fail your app certification tests. The likelihood of the C++ runtime not being on a Windows machine where your app will be installed is extremely rare, but you need to declare this anyway. The reason for this is to ensure that your app declares the right dependencies that are needed for the app to run. To correctly use this in a managed app you’ll need to select that *and* the C++ runtime as seen below: Once in the Add Reference dialog choose the Windows\Extensions view (see on left) and you’ll see SQLite for Windows Runtime. What we are adding here is a reference to the Extension SDK…not the library itself, a small but important distinction. Now you will not be browsing for any DLL directly like you would in a traditional. Once within your app, use the Add Reference mechanism to get to the next step. In a managed (.NET) app you would do the following steps.įirst, create your app (e.g., a Blank XAML app is fine). Now that you have the SQLite for Windows Runtime package installed in your Visual Studio environment, you want to use it. ![]() You will be prompted to restart Visual Studio which you should do. This will show you the SQLite for Windows Runtime package:Ĭlick install my friends. From the Tools menu, choose Extensions and Updates and then choose the Online section (on the left of the dialog) and search for ‘sqlite’ in the search term. You can do this from within Visual Studio itself in all editions. The first thing you want to do is install the package. Here’s some step-by-step… Installing the SQLite for Windows Runtime package What this means is you now add a ‘reference’ to the SQLite binary and based on the architecture being built for your package, it will pull in the right DLL without you having to manage that yourself. ![]() In working with the great folks on the SQLite team, they’ve packaged the binaries up (for Windows 8 apps) in a nice installer using the Extension SDK format. The flow of this using SQLite3.dll was that you would have to package, change the DLL, re-package. What this means is that you have to build your app for each architecture you want to support: x86, 圆4 and ARM. One of the challenges I noted is that since SQLite is a native component and if you are a managed (.NET) app you can’t be architecture neutral anymore (An圜PU). If you still want to build your own DLL from their source code that is totally fine, but not necessary in most every single case I’ve seen in app usage. I’ve previously posted a few things about SQLite including a HOWTO on how to build from their source code.
