Why am I getting “Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3'” in my WPF app?

Is your project build set to Any CPU? You'll need to set it to either x86 or x64 for SQLite3. The x86 route will yield more compatibility across devices, so I recommend that option unless your doing some specific 64-bit stuff.

Edit: You'll also need to download the actual Sqlite DLL manually from Sqlite's main site. The file you want is named sqlite-dll-win32-x86-3080702.zip. Extract the DLL from that ZIP and add it to your project as a content file. Set the copy to output directory option in the properties tool window to Copy Always, and rebuild. Also ensure that your project is set to the x86 option as mentioned above.

This should hopefully do the trick... its been a while since I've used Sqlite in a .NET application.

Side Notes: The Nuget package you downloaded actually only contains the C# wrapper library around the real Sqlite DLL.

I had the same problem on a windows store app and i solved it by following this tutorial : http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/d351ba/working-with-sqlite-in-windows-store-apps/

No need to download manually the dll. The important step is the fifth :

5. Add references to the project.

Right-click on the References to the project under solution, select Add References. This opens up the Reference Manager of the project.

In the Reference Manager click on Windows Version. My application targets Windows 8.1 and therefore I have selected “Windows 8.1”. Select Extensions from the list as shown in the preceding screen shot. Now you will get the list of SDKs applicable to your project. As could be seen in the screen, SQLite for Windows Runtime (Windows 8.1) is available in the list post installation of SQLite from NuGet Package Installer.

Now check/tick the two options Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime Package for Windows 8.1 and SQLite for Windows Runtime (Windows 8.1) as shown in the screen shot. Then click “Ok”.

Check whether or not the references are added. You can see references are added but it is showing an exclamatory mark on these added references. If you build the application now you will get some warning messages along with the error messages in all certainty and the build fails with some messages as shown below. This is because the SQLite we have installed will not support the “Any CPU” processor architecture.

Now change the target platform from “Any CPU” to your CPU Architecture. In my case, the CPU Architecture is x64. The procedure to check your CPU architecture is specified below.

Not sure if this work for WPF app, but it worked for me on Windows store app. Click the link above for details and screenshots.

Hope this will help some people ;-)

In my case I just had to set project build to x86 or x64 AND set the target framework to 4. It doesn´t work with a higher framework.
