I am developing an application in Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight with a sqlite database, but the problem is it is kind of a lengthy task to manage data using just sqlite.

Is it possible to use Entity Framework with sqlite for Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight?

  • If yes then how? Any tutorial will be helpful
  • If no then: is there any better way or plugin available for managing data simply..

Any help will be appreciated..

No, there is no way to use Entity Framework on Windows Phone 8.1 silverlight or even WinRT (Windows Runtime 8.1). According to Entity Framework Roadmap, EF Core available for UWP (Windows 10 apps).

I can recommend you to use SQLite.Net-PCL (Nuget, GitHub). It is very lightweight ORM which supports Linq-like queries.
