Using SQLite in Windows 8 DESKTOP app

Question

Hi does anyone know how to configure Visual Studio 2012 Desktop to use SQLite in a desktop app?

I have been spending ages trying to work it - I got it working in Visual Studio 2012 Metro Apps but there is no Extensions in VS 2012 Desktop so it seems to be a bit different.

I have tried adding a reference to the SQLite3.dll but VS refuses to acknowledge it as a library.

I have been trying to use Tim Heurs instructions without success.

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Here an example WPF application on CodeProject that uses same SQLite library.
