SQLiteAsyncConnection UpdateWithChildren not available


I am trying to implement a OneToMany relationship inside my PCL using SQLite.net. I have the async extensions package (SQLiteNetExtensions.Async) and I am basing the code on the example found in https://bitbucket.org/twincoders/sqlite-net-extensions. I am using SQLiteAsyncConnection but the UpdateWithChildren method does not seem to be available, only with SQLiteConnection.

using SQLite.Net;
using SQLite.Net.Async;
using SQLite.Net.Interop;
using SQLiteNetExtensions.Extensions;

private readonly SQLiteAsyncConnection conn;
public ActivityRepository(ISQLitePlatform platform, string dbPath)
{
    var connectionFactory = new Func<SQLiteConnectionWithLock>(() => new SQLiteConnectionWithLock(platform, new SQLiteConnectionString(dbPath, storeDateTimeAsTicks: true)));
    conn = new SQLiteAsyncConnection(connectionFactory);
}
public void method(object object) {
    conn.UpdateWithChildren(object); --function not available
}

Solution

  • When using SQLiteAsyncConnection, you have to use the async Nuget package, SQLiteNetExtensionsAsync.Extensions namespace and async versions of all the methods:

    using SQLite.Net;
    using SQLite.Net.Async;
    using SQLite.Net.Interop;
    using SQLiteNetExtensionsAsync.Extensions;
    
    private readonly SQLiteAsyncConnection conn;
    public ActivityRepository(ISQLitePlatform platform, string dbPath)
    {
        var connectionFactory = new Func<SQLiteConnectionWithLock>(() => new SQLiteConnectionWithLock(platform, new SQLiteConnectionString(dbPath, storeDateTimeAsTicks: true)));
        conn = new SQLiteAsyncConnection(connectionFactory);
    }
    public Task method(object object) {
        return conn.UpdateWithChildrenAsync(object);
    }
    

    Please note that all async methods return a Task that must be awaited or returned.
