The bug related to "Unable to open database file" exception when opening several connections in the LinqConnect for Metro edition was not fixed in 4.1.184 07-Feb-13 release. This code runs the first two times but after that it will give the "Unable to open database file". I am using direct calls because this is much faster than the linq to sql method when running in a transaction. I can load 100000 this way in minutes.

using (SQLiteConnection sqliteconnection = new SQLiteConnection("Data Source = database.db3; Version=3"))
{

sqliteconnection.Error += new SQLiteConnection.SQLiteErrorEventHandler(SQLiteError); ;
sqliteconnection.Open();

using (SQLiteTransaction sqlitetransaction = sqliteconnection.BeginTransaction())
{
SQLiteCommand command = sqliteconnection.CreateCommand();

try
{
command.CommandText = AttributeHelper.CreateInsertWithParameter<T1>(dc, ref command, add_items[0]);
command.Prepare();

foreach (var add_item in add_items)
{
AttributeHelper.SetParameters<T1>(dc, ref command, add_item);

command.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlitetransaction.Commit();
}
catch
{
if (sqlitetransaction != null)
{
sqlitetransaction.Rollback();
}
}

if (sqliteconnection.State != ConnectionState.Closed)
{
sqliteconnection.Close();

if (sqliteconnection != null)
{
sqliteconnection.Dispose();
}

if (sqlitetransaction != null)
{
sqlitetransaction.Dispose();
}

if (command != null)
{
command.Dispose();
}
}
}
}
}
}

These issues are not the same. The issue, you have reported, is related to working with transactions and configuration of the 'JournalMode' parameter of the connection string. We are working on this issue now and we will inform you about the results as soon as possible.
As a temporary workaround, please set the 'JournalMode' parameter of your connection string to 'Off'.

We also recommend you to use your connection string in the ways which are demonstrated in the "Database Deployment and Connection String Format" section at http://blogs.devart.com/dotconnect/linq ... guide.html
For example: Please tell us if this helps.

Thanks for the response, tried the solution given. Changed code to the following.

var dbPath = "ms-appdata:///local/supersuite.db3";

connectionString = string.Format("Data Source = {0}; Version= 3; Journal Mode=Off;", dbPath);

I still receive error "unable to open file" on third attempt.
