Sqlite with Entity Framework in windows phone 8.1 silverlight

Question

I am developing an application in Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight with a sqlite database, but the problem is it is kind of a lengthy task to manage data using just sqlite.

Is it possible to use Entity Framework with sqlite for Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight?

• If yes then how? Any tutorial will be helpful
• If no then: is there any better way or plugin available for managing data simply..

Any help will be appreciated..

Answer 1

No, there is no way to use Entity Framework on Windows Phone 8.1 silverlight or even WinRT (Windows Runtime 8.1). According to Entity Framework Roadmap , EF Core available for UWP (Windows 10 apps).

I can recommend you to use SQLite.Net-PCL ( Nuget , GitHub ). It is very lightweight ORM which supports Linq-like queries.
