Sqlite & Asp.net C# Simple operation

SQLite is an embedded SQL database engine. Unlike most other SQL databases, SQLite does not have a separate server process. SQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. A complete SQL database with multiple tables, indices, triggers, and views, is contained in a single disk file. The database file format is cross-platform - you can freely copy a database between 32-bit and 64-bit systems or between big-endian and little-endian architectures. These features make SQLite a popular choice as an Application File Format. Think of SQLite not as a replacement for Oracle but as a replacement for fopen()

This  is  what  I need  for a long  time.  Working  with asp.net and database all the  time  I  needed something like this.  Before I had to use office access  but it is not  good  for the job I need to done.
After sometimes i found sqlite and  now  I start using it in my private, demo, test  projects . For now, I am very satisfied with it:))

In this  post  I  will  show  you simple operation  with sqlite and asp.net :
Simple front design:

First  we need to copy some line of code in our web config  project file:
Second thing  is  that  we need  to import Sqlite.dll into our project (after we download it) .
We do reference to Sqlite .dll  after that  we need to create one simple database which  we can do with one of many sqlite managers :sqlitemanager

Next  step is to import our database in project App_Data folder:
Then  we need to write connection string :
After that,  we  add some code instruction to add and delete  values from  our database :


That's all folk's :))
