I saw this in the FAQ, however it says nothing specific about support for VS 2012, or designer support for VS 2012, hence my query. > > > > It was available in the 1.0.66 version - that version also had an > > install.exe file in the bin\Designer directory that would > > re-install the VS support, if needed. > > > > No, it was not. That version did not even support Visual Studio 2010. > Um, I'm sorry, that is not consistent with...our experience. My teammates and I have been running 1.0.66 with full designer support in VS 2010 for well over the past two years, that is, as long as VS 2010 has been out! It may be the case that this is not an "officially supported" configuration for 1.0.66, but that didn't prevent it from working just fine in VS 2010, all the way up through today. The reason I know about the install.exe file in the bin\Designer directory is because we would have to use it occasionally when a "patch Tuesday" update would temporarily make the designer support "disappear" from VS 2010 (it just happened with the last patch Tuesday), running this file put the support back, without having to reinstall SQLite or VS 2010... > > > > I found a similar "installer.exe" in 1.0.82's bin directory, but > > it is different in that it doesn't try to reinstall the VS support > > when you run it. > > > > The new "installer.exe" was written from the ground up.

I have found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11291423/sqlite-with-visual-studio-2012-and-net-4-5, someone seems to have worked out a way to make the 1.0.66 designer support continue to work for VS 2012 (apparently, there is something different that prevents this from "just working" like it did from VS 2008 to VS 2010), but I don't feel comfortable with the author's solution, as it is an opaque binary that I have no real idea what it is doing. I'd also rather be at a more current version of SQLite. If I knew support for VS 2012 was coming sometime in the near future, that would help me decide whether to move to the latest (broken) release with VS 2012, or stick with 1.0.66 without a designer until such time as support can be added, neither situation is ideal, but I need to decide on one path or the other, quickly. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
