Is this file lock issue due to me copying the DB file for every MSTest test? (using DeploymentItem annotation)?

Sounds like the first unit test to run leaves the DB file open. Be sure to close the DB file.

Call static method SQLiteConnection.ClearAllPools() or SQLiteConnection.ClearPool() just before you want to delete the database file.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
