Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SQLite'


System.Data.SQLite.dll is a mixed assembly, i.e. it contains both managed code and native code. Therefore a particular System.Data.SQLite.dll is either x86 or x64, but never both.

Update (courtesy J. Pablo Fernandez): Cassini, the development web server used by Visual Studio when you press F5 or click the green «play» button, is x86 only which means that even if your workstation is x64, you'll only be able to use the x86 version of System.Data.SQLite.dll.

An alternative is not to use Cassini but IIS7 which is properly x64.


Make sure that "Enable 32 - Bit Applications" is set to false for the app pool.


Go to the IIS7 Application Pool -> advanced settings and set the 32-bit application to true.
