For sqlite use this: Suppose you have connection string in textbox txtConnSqlite

     Using conn As New System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection(txtConnSqlite.Text)
            Dim FirstIndex As Int32 = txtConnSqlite.Text.IndexOf("Data Source=")
            If FirstIndex = -1 Then MsgBox("ConnectionString is incorrect", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Sqlite") : Exit Sub
            Dim SecondIndex As Int32 = txtConnSqlite.Text.IndexOf("Version=")
            If SecondIndex = -1 Then MsgBox("ConnectionString is incorrect", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Sqlite") : Exit Sub
            Dim FilePath As String = txtConnSqlite.Text.Substring(FirstIndex + 12, SecondIndex - FirstIndex - 13)
            If Not IO.File.Exists(FilePath) Then MsgBox("Database file not found", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Sqlite") : Exit Sub
            Try
                conn.Open()
                Dim cmd As New System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteCommand("SELECT * FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table';", conn)
                Dim reader As System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteDataReader
                cmd.ExecuteReader()
                MsgBox("Success", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Sqlite")
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox("Connection fail", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Sqlite")
            End Try
         End Using

I think you can easilly convert it to c# code
