Connection string builder code error

[Jymms]

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

I can't find what you're using as the "baseConnectionString" so I figured it was the Data Source Path. That gives me an error "System.ArgumentException: 'Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.'

I added DataSource = SomeFilePath, as the first line inside the { } Which consistent with the information up to the Example.

Hi, give your code sample please

[Jymms]

Hi AntonyNet, the issue is not my code it's lack of explanation in the example. If the page is written for learning how to connect to / create a SQLite database I would assume it's for beginners. The example code shows

var connectionString = new SqliteConnectionStringBuilder(baseConnectionString) { Mode = SqliteOpenMode.ReadWriteCreate, Password = password }.ToString();

No where can I find what baseConnectionString is so I guessed a few different strings there with a SaveFileDialog.FileName. It may be obvious to a schooled programmer but not so much for someone that's trying to learn the basics.

This is missing DataSource so one might assume that's baseConnectionString

The examples below this code block are all connectionstring and seem to be the result of the .ToString() from the above code block but that's connectionString not connectionstring.
