Answer 1

This was one of the top google results I had found when I ran into this error. However, none of the responses helped me so after more searching around and googling I came up with this code that works from some of the code from http://www.tsjensen.com/blog/post/2012/11/10/SQLite-on-Visual-Studio-with-NuGet-and-Easy-Instructions.aspx

However, I did not have to use the NuGet at all. What my program does is downloads a db file from a server every time it is opened. Then if a user updates that db, it will be uploaded for everyone to get the next time they open the same program. I was getting the error that the file was in use after updating the local file and trying to upload it to our SharePoint. Now it works fine.

Public Function sqLiteGetDataTable(sql As String) As DataTable
    Dim dt As New DataTable()
    Using cnn = New SQLiteConnection(dbConnection)
        cnn.Open()
        Using cmd As SQLiteCommand = cnn.CreateCommand()
            cmd.CommandText = sql
            Using reader As System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
                dt.Load(reader)
                reader.Dispose()
            End Using
            cmd.Dispose()
        End Using
        If cnn.State <> System.Data.ConnectionState.Closed Then
            cnn.Close()
        End If
        cnn.Dispose()
    End Using
    Return dt
End Function
