I am a
member of the team who are developing the C# .NET version of the secure
messaging application called Babel.
One of the components
which we need is database. We chose
SQLite for this component because it is optimal for our project and
recommended for the Portable class library (PCL). We also want to use a framework for Object-Relation
Mapping (ORM). After trying several options we decided to use SQLite-NET and its extension for object relationships SQLite-NET Extensions . This setup initially looked good
but after some testing we discovered that the SQLite components target .NET
4.0, Win 8, WinPhone 8.1, Silverlight 5 and WinPhoneSilverlight 8.1. However
our PCL needs to target .NET 4.5, Win 8.1 and WinPhone 8.1. This is a big
problem because we are unable to use the SQLite component in the current build
of our PCL.
We download both projects from GIT and delete every
project which we cannot use (there are projects targeting every platform) then
change the targeted platforms for the PCL projects to .NET 4.5, Win 8.1 and
WinPhone 8.1. This will generate many errors in the code that we will need to
repair before the project will build. But once the project does build the PCL
components will all have the correct target platforms that we can use in our
project.
If you want this
component with the same target platforms here is a
zip containing the compiled C# .NET libraries.
