Cannot select SQLite Database File as data source in Visual Studio 2012

Question

I am attempting to connect my project to a SQLite database. I am following this tutorial, as well as having looked at some others via Google search.

My problem is that when I right-click 'Data Connections' and select 'Add Connection', there is no option for 'SQLite Database Connection' available.

I have downloaded the ADO.NET provider as suggested. But this hasn't helped.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

You could do this without point and click data connections.

I did a quick google search and came across this: nice tutorial from another dev site

I hope it helps
