Is this Agilent VEE ?  If it's very like LabView then you shouldn't be using a 
.NET framework at all.

The normal way to use SQLite is to call SQLite API calls from C.  You can 
compile the SQLite library into a standalone app, but instead into an 
addon/toolbox/library as you see fit.

Yes, this is Agilent VEE. I can't use the sqlite3.dll directly with VEE. VEE only recognizes a limited number of data types and has no idea what typedef is, so I'd have to I'd have to write a wrapper for SQLite before I could use it (I'd love to do this, but my boss would kill me).

So, .NET is the easiest way to use SQLite with VEE. Also, using .NET allows me to reuse some of the ADO.NET libraries that I use with MS SQL Server.

I wish VEE was more capable in this regard. Productivity is very high in VEE because it does a lot for you, but flexibility is what you lose because you have little control over how VEE does things.

Thanks for the reply,

More about VEE for anyone working in an electronics test & measurement environment or the morbidly curious:

There are numerous SQLite addons for LabView (e.g.

<http://www.lvs-tools.co.uk/software/sqlite-api/>
<http://www.saphir.fr/en/produits/gdatabase-for-sqlite-5.html>
<http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/209317>

) and they don't use .NET, they address the C API.  I would expect to find 
something similar for VEE, or if not, then to write thin IO library that can 
address a SQLite database using the C API.
