dotConnect for SQLite Standard Edition 2.20

dotConnect for SQLite Standard Edition 2.20 offers you a free charge database connectivity solution built over ADO.NET architecture and a development framework with number of innovative technologies. It offers basic functionality for developing database-related applications and web sites. It introduces new approaches for designing applications and boosts productivity of database application development.

dotConnect for SQLite is an enhanced data provider for SQLite that builds on ADO.NET technology to present a complete solution for developing SQLite-based database applications. As a part of the Devart database application development framework, dotConnect for SQLite offers both high performance native connectivity to the SQLite database and a number of innovative development tools and technologies.

dotConnect for SQLite introduces new approaches for designing application architecture, boosts productivity, and leverages database application implementation. 

The Standard Edition represents a fully-featured ADO.NET data provider with design time support and advanced classes.

Major Advantages: 

1. Wide Coverage of SQLite Features
   By providing access to the most advanced database functionality, dotConnect for SQLite allows developers to harness the full capabilities of the SQLite database engine and optimize their database applications. dotConnect for SQLite stands out as the set of components with the widest support of SQLite functionality.
   
2. Optimized Code
   The goal of dotConnect for SQLite is to enable developers to write efficient and flexible database applications. The dotConnect for SQLite assemblies are implemented using optimized code and advanced data access algorithms. Components undergo comprehensive performance tests and are designed to help you write thin and efficient product data access layers.
   
3. Comprehensive Support for ADO.NET Technology Features
   dotConnect for SQLite supports new ADO.NET features and technologies as soon as they are released. This includes base-class-based provider model, provider factories, connection string builder, metadata schemas, asynchronous commands, pooling enhancements, batch update support, provider-specific types, and so on. dotConnect for SQLite will continue supporting the newest standards and innovations of the .NET Framework.
   
4. Database Application Development Extensions
   dotConnect for SQLite has a rich set of design time tools that leverage the development process greatly. Particularly, there are convenient design time component editors, wizards and managers for typed SQLite-specific components, toolset for live data binding and much more. dotConnect for SQLite integrates tightly with Visual Studio 2005/2008, Delphi, and SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence Solutions.
   
5. Provider-Specific Technologies
   dotConnect for SQLite has extra components designed to simplify some tasks and support SQLite-specific technologies. Particularly, SQLiteScript serves to execute series of SQL statements, and SQLiteDump serves to backup or restore a whole database or its parts.
   
6. ADO.NET Entity Framework Support
   
   • ADO.NET Entity Framework is a conceptual approach to database application development with focus on objects instead of relational data.The flexible architecture of Entity Framework is made up of well-thought layers and modules. Entity Framework optimizes the development process with object-relational mapping, SQL-based entity query language, and LINQ.
   • dotConnect for SQLite supports the Entity Framework capabilities, which allows you to base your object-oriented applications on SQLite. All standard Entity Framework samples can be easily ported to dotConnect for SQLite.
7. LINQ Support
   dotConnect for SQLite includes support for LINQ to SQLite technology. The technology allows you to employ object-oriented database application development with less efforts and in less time. Compared to ADO.NET Entity Framework, LINQ to SQLite is better suited for RAD-style development, is easier to start with, and somewhat richer with server-oriented features like server-specific types. See our LINQ to SQLite tutorial for a quick start with the technology.
   
8. Both Connected and Disconnected Models
   dotConnect for SQLite combines connected and disconnected data access models in a single SQLiteDataTable component, that allows you to design more flexible application architecture and use full power of data binding.
   
9. Development and Support
   dotConnect for SQLite is a SQLite connectivity solution that has been actively developed and supported since 2007. dotConnect for SQLite comes with full documentation, demo projects, and fast (usually within one business day) technical support by the dotConnect for SQLite development team.
