Hello all

I am evaluating dotConnect for SQLite with EntityFramework. I did a sample project according to the official sample of this forum and it did not work so far.

My Config-File looks like this:

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
    <!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->
  </configSections>
  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
  </startup>

      <add name="SQLite Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SQLite" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for SQLite" type="System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteFactory, System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.96.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139" />
      <remove invariant="System.Data.SQLite.EF6" />
      <!--<add name="SQLite Data Provider (Entity Framework 6)" invariant="System.Data.SQLite.EF6" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for SQLite (Entity Framework 6)" type="System.Data.SQLite.EF6.SQLiteProviderFactory, System.Data.SQLite.EF6, Version=1.0.96.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139" />-->

    </DbProviderFactories>
  </system.data>
  <entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
    <!--<defaultConnectionFactory type="SqliteEval.EntityFramework.ConnectionFactory, SqliteEval">

      </parameters>--><!--

    <providers>
      <!--<provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SQLite.EF6" type="System.Data.SQLite.EF6.SQLiteProviderServices, System.Data.SQLite.EF6" />-->
      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SQLite" type="System.Data.SQLite.EF6.SQLiteProviderServices, System.Data.SQLite.EF6" />
      <provider invariantName="Devart.Data.SQLite" type="Devart.Data.SQLite.Entity.SQLiteEntityProviderServices, Devart.Data.SQLite.Entity, Version=5.2.359.6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701"></provider>
    </providers>
  </entityFramework>

  <connectionStrings>
    <clear />
    <add name="DatabaseContext" connectionString="DataSource=D:\data.db;Version=3" providerName="System.Data.SQLite" />
  </connectionStrings>
</configuration>

and my Code is quite simple:

Code: Select all

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // string connectionString = @"DataSource = D:\data.db;Version=3;";
            File.Delete("D://data.db");

            Database.DefaultConnectionFactory = new SqLiteConnectionFactory("D://data.db", null);

            Database.SetInitializer(new CreateDatabaseIfNotExists<DatabaseContext>());

            using (DatabaseContext databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
            {
                Console.WriteLine("ConnectionString: {0}", databaseContext.Database.Connection.ConnectionString);
                databaseContext.Database.Initialize(true);
            }
        }

I tried many different things and also downloaded one example I found here in the forum, but it did not work either. The database file is created, but there is no data in it.

Version information:

dotConnect:
Downloaded Professional Version 5.2 yesterday (from here: http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/sqlite/download.html)

SQLite
Nuget Package "System.Data.SQLite" version 1.0.96 (x86/x64)

EntityFramework
Nuget Package "EntityFramework" Version 6.1.3

It would be nice if anybody could help me.

Your current connection string uses System.Data.SQLite. dotConnect for SQLite doesn't depend on System.Data.SQLite (you can remove it). The *.config file should look like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
    <!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->
  </configSections>
  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
  </startup>
  <system.data>
    <DbProviderFactories>
      <remove invariant="Devart.Data.SQLite" />
      <add name="Devart SQLite Provider Factory" invariant="Devart.Data.SQLite" description="Devart ProviderFactory that supports table generation with Entity Framework" type="Devart.Data.SQLite.SQLiteProviderFactory, Devart.Data.SQLite, Version=5.2.359.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701"  />
    </DbProviderFactories>
  </system.data>
  <entityFramework>
    <providers>
      <provider invariantName="Devart.Data.SQLite" type="Devart.Data.SQLite.Entity.SQLiteEntityProviderServices, Devart.Data.SQLite.Entity, Version=5.2.359.6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701"></provider>
    </providers>
  </entityFramework>
  <connectionStrings>
    <clear />
    <add name="DatabaseContext" connectionString="DataSource=D:\data.db;Fail If Missing=false;" providerName="Devart.Data.SQLite" />
  </connectionStrings>
</configuration>

If this doesn't help, specify the exact text of the error and its call stack.
