      <h1 class="heading">Installing SQLite Visual Studio Design-Time Support</h1>
      <p>Supporting the Visual Studio query designer and allowing you to manipulate 
        SQLite databases from within Visual Studio is a great time-saver.&nbsp; Though 
        the support is not yet fully-implemented, there's certainly enough there to 
        keep you busy.&nbsp; You can create databases, design and execute queries, 
        create typed datasets and lots more all from Visual Studio.</p>
      <h3> Installation Instructions</h3>
      <p>
        In Windows Explorer, navigate to <STRONG>SQLite.Net\bin\Designer</STRONG>
        and execute the <STRONG>INSTALL.EXE</STRONG> program.&nbsp; It will automatically
        detect what eligible Visual Studio products are installed, and allow you to check
        and uncheck which environments to install the designer for.</p>
      <h3> Express Edition Limitations</h3>
      <p>All Express Editions (except Visual Web Developer) are hard-coded to only allow you to design for Jet and Sql Server Database Files.&nbsp; The only way for SQLite
        to install its designer is to temporarily replace one of the existing "approved"
        designers.&nbsp; Therefore, when you install the SQLite designer for one of these
        express editions, it will temporarily replace the Microsoft Access designer.&nbsp;
        You can revert back to the Access designer simply by re-running the install.exe
        program and un-checking the boxes.</p>
