While I was reinstalling my laptop this week, I ran into some friction getting my Brick Manager development environment going again. My issue turned out to be pretty simple, and I thought I would share out how to solve the issue to help out others that follow on behind me(because I couldn’t find anything on the interwebz).
After syncing my solution down to my newly configured dev machine, there was a System.IO.FileNotFoundException thrown by the public static Result Open(string, out Sqlite3DatabaseHandle, int, IntPtr) method within the SQLite.cs; in particular, the exception was thrown by the Sqlite3.sqlite3_open_v2() call.
Exception details:
- Type: System.IO.FileNotFoundException
- Message: The specified module could not be found.
- HRESULT: 0x8007007E
At the root of the exception was a missing SQLite extension for Visual Studio. I had the SQLite-net and SQLite-net-wp8 NuGet packages, but Visual Studio didn’t automatically link into the SQLite for Windows Phone extension (even though it was installed).
To re-add this to your VS solution, do the following steps:
- Open up the project’s references by secondary-clicking on the ‘References’ node in the solution explorer and selecting ‘Add Reference…’
- In the Reference Manager, select ‘Windows Phone SDK 8.0’
- Select ‘Extensions’
- Check the box for ‘SQLite for Windows Phone’ if it isn’t already selected. If it isn’t in the list, then you will need to install the extension (but I will assume you already know how to do that
)
Once I selected the box, everything was once again copasetic and all was good in the universe once more.
Hope this helps!
