As a fast, lightweight, and efficient database that requires minimal configuration, it is a developer&#8217;s dream come true. Meanwhile, Visual Studio, a supercharged integrated development environment (IDE), enables developers to create, debug, and deploy applications. This article will unleash the secrets of how to enable SQLite database to be visible in Visual Studio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Install_SQLite_Tools_on_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 1: Install SQLite Tools on Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing that needs to be done to have a glimpse of the SQLite database in Visual Studio is to install the SQLite tools. A plethora of SQLite tools like SQLite\/SQL Server Compact Toolbox, SQLite for Universal Windows Platform, and many more are available on the Visual Studio Marketplace. You can choose the tool that meets your requirements best.<\/p>\n<p>To install the SQLite tools, go to the Visual Studio Marketplace using this link <a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.visualstudio.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/marketplace.visualstudio.com.<\/a> Locate the search bar on the website and type SQLite. Select the preferred tool and click on the Install button. Once the installation is complete, restart Visual Studio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Establish_Connection_to_SQLite_Database\"><\/span>Step 2: Establish Connection to SQLite Database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Having installed the SQLite tools, the next step is to establish a connection to the SQLite database. Open Visual Studio and create a new project. Right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer and select Add -&gt; New Item. Choose the SQLite database file from the Data category.<\/p>\n<p>Once the SQLite file has been created, to connect to it, right-click on the file and select Open with SQLite\/SQL Server Compact Toolbox. In the SQLite\/SQL Server Compact Toolbox window, click on Open Database and choose the SQLite file. This will reveal the SQLite database in the SQLite\/SQL Server Compact Toolbox.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Observe_the_SQLite_Database_in_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 3: Observe the SQLite Database in Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After successfully connecting to the SQLite database, it&#8217;s time to observe the database database in Visual Studio. To do this, right-click on the SQLite file in the Solution Explorer and select Open with -&gt; SQLite Object Browser. Doing this will launch the SQLite Object Browser within Visual Studio.<\/p>\n<p>The SQLite Object Browser displays various other objects belonging to the SQLite database, such tables, views, and indexes. With this tool, developers can also run SQL queries and commands directly within the Object Browser. To execute a query, click on the New Query button and input the SQL code. Afterward, click on the Execute button to run the query.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This article has illuminated the steps involved in viewing the SQLite database in Visual Studio. By following these steps, connecting to a SQLite database become an easy task, and developers can peruse their content within Visual Studio with ease. The SQLite tools&#8217; integration within Visual Studio provides developers with a straightforward and powerful interface in which to work with SQLite databases. Developers who work with SQLite databases should not hesitate to install these tools and include them in their projects. The journey to an even more productive use of the SQLite and Visual Studio partnership starts here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Marvel of SQLite and Visual Studio Integration SQLite is a mind-blowing open-source database management system (RDBMS) that can be utilized for a wide range&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3297],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Visual-Studio-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12652"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12652"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13604,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12652\/revisions\/13604"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
