SQLite for .NET

Noah Hart has ported SQLite3 to C#.  While the first port is slower than the original, the project opens the way for SQLite to be used in .NET managed projects without using P/Invoke or unsafe code.

The project represents the complete porting of SQLite version 3.6.16 to C#.  The code is licensed under Creative Commons 3.0.  C#-SQLite passes over 30,000 tests with only 9 still not working.  The compiled binary exe is 528KB which is about the same as the original at 506KB.
