Using SQLite database in Portable Class Library

I am a member of the team who are developing the C# .NET version of the secure messaging application called Babel.

One of the components which we need is database.  We chose SQLite for this component because it is optimal for our project and recommended for the Portable class library (PCL). We also want to use a framework for Object-Relation Mapping (ORM). After trying several options we decided to use SQLite-NET and its extension for object relationships SQLite-NET Extensions . This setup initially looked good but after some testing we discovered that the SQLite components target .NET 4.0, Win 8, WinPhone 8.1, Silverlight 5 and WinPhoneSilverlight 8.1. However our PCL needs to target .NET 4.5, Win 8.1 and WinPhone 8.1. This is a big problem because we are unable to use the SQLite component in the current build of our PCL.

We download both projects from GIT and delete every project which we cannot use (there are projects targeting every platform) then change the targeted platforms for the PCL projects to .NET 4.5, Win 8.1 and WinPhone 8.1. This will generate many errors in the code that we will need to repair before the project will build. But once the project does build the PCL components will all have the correct target platforms that we can use in our project.

If you want this component with the same target platforms here is a zip containing the compiled C# .NET libraries.
