EntitySpaces.ORM.SQLite.NET

Part of the modernized EntitySpaces ORM — SQLite data provider. Actively maintained fork with full .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET 10 support.

Supportability
.NET targets .NET Framework 4.8 · .NET 8 · .NET 9 · .NET 10
SQLite SQLite 3.x (validated with 3.46.1)
Driver System.Data.SQLite.Core 1.0.119

📋 Help Shape the Roadmap

Take the 3‑minute survey – your feedback keeps EntitySpaces alive and evolving.

🛠️ Requires EntitySpaces Studio

This package provides the SQL Server runtime only — it does not generate code. Entity and Collection classes are generated from your database schema using EntitySpaces Studio, a separate WinForms tool.

  • Get it from the repo: EntitySpaces.Studio
  • Download the most recent .zip — avoid any file tagged -deprecated, that build is kept for reference only.
  • Connect to your database under Settings → Connection, then run the Generated and Custom class templates.

New Features

  • Auto-increment detection for both SQLite forms — the rowid alias (INTEGER PRIMARY KEY) and the explicit AUTOINCREMENT keyword — both now correctly generate IsAutoIncrement = true metadata
  • Foreign key enforcement is now automatic — the provider appends Foreign Keys=True to the connection string on every connection, no configuration change needed
  • Concurrency exception detection — SQLITE_CONSTRAINT (code 19) violations (PK/UNIQUE/FK/CHECK) are translated to esConcurrencyException, consistent with the other providers
  • Navigation properties generated in Studio from FK relationships defined in the DDL
  • Studio metadata engine rewritten to use native SQLite pragmas (PRAGMA table_info, PRAGMA foreign_key_list) instead of information_schema, which SQLite does not support

Fixes

  • FK violations now correctly raise esConcurrencyException instead of failing silently — a direct result of foreign key enforcement now being applied by default
  • Explicit PK inserts on auto-increment tables are now detected correctly, so an explicitly assigned Id is inserted directly instead of being overwritten by a generated rowid

Dependency Updates

  • Updated System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager from 10.0.10 to 10.0.11
    • Maintenance release. No API changes affecting EntitySpaces.

Quick Samples

Load a collection:

var customers = new CustomersCollection();
customers.LoadAll();

foreach (var customer in customers)
{
    Console.WriteLine(customer.CompanyName);
}

Create, update, delete an entity:

var employee = new Employees();
employee.FirstName = "Joe";
employee.LastName = "Smith";
employee.Save();               // Create

employee.LastName = "Doe";
employee.Save();               // Update

employee.MarkAsDeleted();
employee.Save();               // Delete

SQLite connection string:

esProviderFactory.Factory = new EntitySpaces.Loader.esDataProviderFactory();

esConnectionElement conn = new esConnectionElement();
conn.Provider = "EntitySpaces.SQLiteProvider";
conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=C:\\path\\to\\database.db;Version=3;Foreign Keys=True;";
esConfigSettings.ConnectionInfo.Connections.Add(conn);

More usage examples (joins, paging, transactions, and the full Fluent SQL API): see the main EntitySpaces README.
