I am trying to create an embedded SQLite database on the fly with the EF however, I can't get it to work, the database file is never getting created. I have EF 4.2 and latest version SQLite Here is what I have app.config <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <system.data> <DbProviderFactories> <remove invariant="System.Data.SQLite"/> <add name="SQLite Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SQLite"
