I am using VS 2013 community and all it works fine, I can create my edmx model and all other tasks.

However, I would like to connect to a database that is in a network folder. So I am create a new connection in the server explorer, I select the provider and I browse for my sqlite database that is in a network folder. When I test the connect, I get an error that says that is not possible to open the database.

Is it possible to connect to a database that is shared in another computer? If not, Would it be possible to add this feature?

the reason is that I am the only user that will access to the database, but I would like to connect from many devices and avoid the need to sync many databases.


Thank so much.

It is possible to open a database on a network drive.  However, when using a UNC
path, all leading backslashes must be doubled, like this:

    string fileName = @"\\\\network\share\file.db";

    using (SQLiteConnection connection = new SQLiteConnection(
        "Data Source=" + fileName + ";"))
    {
      connection.Open();
    }
