View created DB in VS 2013 Server explorer

[Perry]

Hi,

I am currently working on a project with Data Storage for XAML and it would help me tremendously if I could see the database tables with their data. Is there a way I can connect to it via the Data Connections Wizard in Server Explorer in Visual Studio 2013 RC?

Thank you,

Hi Perry,

 Thank you for your question.

You are right that it is very helpful for developers to be able to observe the database tables and data during development process, but currently there is no way to do this from Server Explorer of VS 2013. 
What I will suggest you as an acceptable solution is a small and free Add-on of Firefox browser called "SQLite Manager" that you can download from Add-ons section of the browser. For more information please visit the following address: SQLite Manager Add-on. With this tool you can open your database files located in your metro app's package folder and browse the existing schema and data via convenient UI. 
It is a good idea to follow the updates of SQLite ADO.NET adapter from this site: SQLite ADO.NET adapter too.

I hope this helps. Please, let me know if I can help you any further.

Thank you Bulent for the explanation and link.
This will work for me and maybe there will be a more Visual Studio integrated solution in the future.
