没有从visual studio 2015中的文件中获取选项sqlite数据库

Question

What I have done: - Installed the binary file of the provider on my machine from here http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/downloads.wiki - Installed the following references in the project

• system.data.sqlite
  • system.data.sqlite.ef6
  • system.data.sqlite.core
  • system.data.sqlite.linq

Now when i try to do this add item --> Data --> ADO.net Entity data model --> efdesigner from database --> new connection --> change in here I expect to see a "sqlite database file" option.

Answer 1

This may help somebody else. There is only one binary file that is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2015 ( system.data.sqlite.org ).

Make sure to check "Install the designer components for Visual Studio 2015" during the installation process.

Once the installation process is done, restart Visual Studio and you will get the SQLite database provider installed.

Answer 2

I solved this by installing SQLite package marked as "This is the only setup package that is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2015". After installing this, restart Visual Studio and you're good to go.
