Visual Studio 2012实体框架连接中缺少SQLite数据源

Question

I have just updated from SQLite 1.0.8x to sqlite 1.0.94.0 to try and use with EF6.

When I try and add a entity data model from an existing database there is no option to select the data source as sqlite as there used to be for the older SQLite. I have installed SQLite from Nuget and from the setup file on the SQLite website for .net4.5/VS2012. I have tried reinstalling and rebooting both VS and my machine and neither worked. I have found many similar problems to this and no answers to this problem. I can add a connection to an SQLite file via server explorer and navigate through the db on the tab in Visual Studio. This now existing connection does not appear when trying to add a new model in EF6, however.

I even found this question on SO that seems to be the same question as mine but has no answers:

SqlLite in Visual Studio 2012 installed by NuGet dosent exist in Data Source for connection

It seems strange to me that this issue would exist with no answers/concern about it. Are people shunning the SQLite/EF6 combo? I had EF5 and SQLite running fine.

I know this is technically a duplicate but I do not know what else I can do.

Answer 1

I don't know if this actually solves your issue, but I had the same problem and tried pretty much every solution out there.

Eventually, after installing the correct packages to support VS2012, I also installed Entity Framework 6 Tools for Visual Studio 2012 & 2013

After doing so (and a restart of VS) the connection showed up in the Entity Data Model Wizard.

Hope it solves your issue as well.
