dotConnect for SQLite

dotConnect for SQLite is a high-performance ORM enabled data provider for SQLite that builds on ADO.NET technology.

The provider works with .NET Frameworks 2.0+, .NET Core 2.0+, .NET 5+. The product is compatible with ADO.NET Entity Framework (EF) Core.

It supports a wide range of SQLite-specific features, such as a variety of built-in encryption methods, including TripleDES, Blowfish, AES128, AES192, AES256, Cast128, and RC4. We provide integration with advanced encryption solutions such as SQLiteCrypt and SQLCipher, which typically require separate licenses but are included in our product at no extra cost. Additionally, it supports user-defined functions, CEROD, support for enabling SQLite extensions with connection string parameters, and others.

It also includes visual ORM designer for Entity Framework, Entity Framework Core, and LinqConnect ORM models.

Usage

This snippet directly configures a SQLite database connection for an Entity Framework Core DbContext using a connection string.

public class MyDbContext : DbContext {
 
 protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder) {

 optionsBuilder.UseSQLite(@"DataSource=database.db;FailIfMissing=False;");
 } 
}

Configuration Using SQLiteConnection Instance

using Devart.Data.SQLite;
...

public class MyDbContext : DbContext {
 
 protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder) {

 var connection = new SQLiteConnection();
 connection.DataSource = @"database.db";
 connection.FailIfMissing = false;
 connection.Locking = LockingMode.Exclusive;
 connection.AutoVacuum = AutoVacuumMode.Full;
 connection.ConnectionTimeout = 20;
 optionsBuilder.UseSQLite(connection);
 } 
}

ASP.NET Core and Blazor

Configuration File Snippet (appsettings.json):

{
 "ConnectionStrings": {
 "DefaultConnection": "DataSource=database.db;FailIfMissing=False;"
 }
}

Dependency Injection of IConfiguration:

private readonly IConfiguration configuration;

public YourController(IConfiguration config) 
{
 configuration = config;
}

Retrieving a Connection String:

var connectionString = configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection");
var connection = new SQLiteConnection(connectionString);
