System.Data.SQLite

The SQLite data provider was working great for the last few weeks.  But today I keep getting errors. Anytime I need to do anything with the data provider in Visual Studio I get:

"An unexpected error occurred in the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQLite. Please contact the provider vendor to resolve this problem."

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling SQLite. I have rebooted. I have run the tool to add and remove the  "Designer time config." I am not sure what else to try. I searched the forums, but didnt see anyone else having this problem, or a way to resolve it. I think a file got corrupt and needs to be reinstalled, but I'm not sure where that file is, or how to do it since an uninstall and re-install of SQLite didnt help. 

I am on Visual Studio 2005, with sp1 on a WinXP box. 

Does anyone have any pointers on where else to look?

I would attach a debugger to Visual Studio and then turn on first-chance exceptions, and capture the exact error message that comes up.  That way you can see the raw error and a stack dump.

 

 Thanks for your response, I should have given that a shot....

 I'm not sure what the problem was, but i was able to fix it this issue by re-installing visual studio 2005. 

 

I am having the same error, and have attached a debugger to VS (2008) to catch the exception, but no useful information came of that.

The exception (without any InnerException) is:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.DataProviderException occurred
  Message="An unexpected error occurred in the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQLite.  Please contact the provider vendor to resolve this problem."
  Source="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Compatibility"
  StackTrace:
       at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Compatibility.NewProviderObjectFactory.Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Core.IVsDataSiteableObject<Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Core.IVsDataProvider>.set_Site(IVsDataProvider value)
  InnerException:
 

When I try to add a data source (as done in the video on the homepage of this site), I do not get a prompt with multiple fields. I get a prompt to set the ConnectionString property (see image). When I click Ok, with or without specifying a connection string, I get the exception.

 My co-worker is not having this problem, and I have re-installed VS08 to no avail. Any ideas?

please give your valuable suggestions I too facing the same problem in VS2005 (full edition)after compiling from Source Code v1.0.65.0 but, in VS2008 (full edition) but, there is no issue if we use the supplied compiled binaries downloaded from sourceforge.net.

run Install.exe set Visual Studio VS2005 (full edition) and run VS2005 select server explorer finally select SQLite Data Provider (.Net.....) the error is below

Package Load failure

Package 'SQLite Designer Package' has failed to load properly ( GUID = {DCBE6C8D-0E57-4099-A183-98FF74C64D9C}. Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible evironment corruption. Would you like to disable loading this package in future?.....

I tried all the possibility please could any suggest to avoid this issue

If you recompile the source code, you also have to recompile the designer.  It's in an entirely separate project file in the SQLite.Designer folder.

 

As you said I recompile all the source code and designer source code also. I hope you tried and did not faced any issue like I got 'SQLite Designer Package' has failed to load properly so, could you kindly provide the compiling order. I might be doing mistake in compiling order

thanks

**bump** I'm getting the same error and all of my efforts to un/reinstall the package haven't worked. I'm running VS2005 on Windows 7 please help! ;)

Experiencing the same issue on VS2010/Win7.

Initial install was fine. Was able to work as expected with an SQLite DB. Very nice! More than suitably impressed.

Still suitably impressed, I decided to use SQLite for a new project. I created a new DB Connection with the  Server Explorer and arrived at the pit of misery. Same error as reported above. Search on this topic here doesn't bring up anything else. No mention of this issue in the bugs forum either that I could find so I'm posting here to keep the relevant information together and as a heads up for others.

Hoping that a reinstall might solve the issue, I discovered that all attempts to uninstall the package result in "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

This issue has been unresolved for some time so I don't think anyone should hold their breath waiting for a solution. Either it works for you, or else it seems your stuck with an uninstallable package.

The VS2005 bug is fixed pending a release -- however, if you're having a designer issue in VS2010, then that's an entirely different matter.

What version of VS2010 are you using?

But which is the fix? I have the same issue on VS2005... :(

Sorry but I dont find the solution anywhere :( Robert? Can you please give me an idea what I can do?

can anyone solve this issues? I also having the same problem with vs2005(full editions) and it show exactly like that image connection string and same error

I too !

With Vs 2005, Data Connections, Add Connecttion :

 1. Test Connection is OK, see :

 

 2. OK button -> Error, see:

With Vs 2008 or Vs 2010. That is OK.  

After try this step:
-Uninstall 1.0.60.0, run devenv.exe /resetuserdata, install 1.0.60.0 and the connection dialog is back to normal...

I got this error:

"Package Load Failure Package 'SQLite Designer Package' has failed to load properly(GUID={DCBE6C8D-0E57-4099-A183-98FF74C64D9C}). Please contact package vendor for asistance. Application restart is recommended, due the possible environment corruption, Would you like to disable loading this package in the future? You may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading"
