VS 2015 + universal app + mvvmcross 3.5.0 + sqlite - mvvmcross

I started a new universal app using vs 2015 ctp 5, mvvmcross 3.5.0 + sqllite plugin 3.5.0.
I am using the famous N=.... serie of vídeos, especificaly n=12 Collect A Bull as a reference.
I created a new pcl Project as a core and a universal app Project(3 projects), added nuget packages to core , wp8.1 and to w8.1, everything good so far.
Then i copied the service folder from N=12 sample, added related nuget packages.
My trouble is: at this line _connection = factory.Create("collect.sql"); on repository i've got a exception :
A first chance exception of type 'System.DllNotFoundException' occurred in Cirrious.MvvmCross.Plugins.Sqlite.WindowsCommon.DLL
Additional information: Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
The message is pretty clear cannot found sqlite3.dll i've seen some articles to add file and reference manually, but i did not see nothing on the vídeo, and the N-12 sample runs ok?
How the sample can access the mentioned sqlite dll, it could be related to universal app?
By comparison i found a missing reference in wp project: Community.CsharpSqlite.WP7 i added manually but does not solve.
Any suggestions?

So, to solve this i just have to download from http://www.sqlite.org/download.html and add reference manually
Thanks to mohibsheth on jabbr room

Try adding
Install-Package MvvmCross.HotTuna.Plugin.Sqlite -Version 3.2.1
from package manager console. It worked for me.
If directly it didn't worked, then remove all the packages and add all packages of version 3.2.2 like :
Install-Package MvvmCross -Version 3.2.2
Install-Package MvvmCross.HotTuna.Plugin.FieldBinding -Version 3.2.2
Install-Package MvvmCross.HotTuna.Plugin.Messenger -Version 3.2.2
Still having problem with the packages?Uncheck Silverlight from Core project properties.
Version 3.5.0 raising problems for me too.
Hope this helps.

I would check out the SQLite.Net-PCL project. I've heard of some success in people using that although I have not personally used it yet.
I just submitted a pull request to the MvvmCross Community SQLite project to update it to MvvmCross 3.5 and unified iOS API - so you could give that a try as well. There is no new NuGet for that yet however. You'll need to clone the project and compile it yourself.

NU1202: MySql.Data.Entity isn't compatible with monoandroid81

I am trying to start my first Xamarin project and I got some issue while trying to install the MySqlEntity NuGet package.
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error NU1202 Package MySql.Data.Entity 6.10.8 is not compatible with monoandroid81 (MonoAndroid,Version=v8.1). Package MySql.Data.Entity 6.10.8 supports: net452 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2) Refo_T3.Android C:\Users\evyat\source\repos\Refo_T3\Refo_T3\Refo_T3.Android\Refo_T3.Android.csproj 1
I tried this solution: Xamarin.Android: Package XX is not compatible with monoandroid81 (MonoAndroid,Version=v8.1)
and I still end up with errors.
It's my first application on Xamarin platform, I used to code in .NET but I decided to test my luck with Xamarin.
I couldn't find any more useful information online and I need your better experience.
Thank You :)
As written on the nuget packages page, the package is only available for .net framework >= 4.5.2
So you can't install it for Xamarin Android project only classic desktop .Net Framework applications.

How do I import Primefaces 6.0 source as maven project in Eclipse?

I followed Building From Source https://github.com/primefaces/primefaces/wiki/Building-From-Source instructions. Building the SNAPSHOT version project from command works well.
However, importing it into eclipse using the Existing Maven Projects wizard gives me a lot of errors in the Problems view. I fixed the lifecycle mappings by setting all to ignore.
I realized the generated source code in the target/generated-sources/maven-jsf-plugin directory but it was not picked up by the m2e plugins as a source folder automatically. So I included it into the eclipse build path manually. But then again, many compile errors show up in the generated code.
Does anybody use eclipse as IDE for primefaces development? How do you setup the eclipse project to develop primefaces?
The eclipse project uses Java Compiler compliance level 1.5 derived from the pom.xml maven-compiler-plugin settings. Setting the Java Compiler compliance level to 1.6 solved the issue for me.

Problems compiling MvvmCross TipCalc sample

I am trying to run the MvvmCross TipCalc sample. Using NuGet on TipCalc.UI.Droid to resolve references works OK. I then try to do same on TipCalc.Core and get:
Adding 'MvvmCross.PortableSupport 3.0.13' to TipCalc.Core.
Could not install package 'MvvmCross.PortableSupport 3.0.13'. You are trying
to install this package into a project that targets 'portable-win+net40+sl40+wp',
but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that
are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
Shouldn't the project just be ready to go for NuGet and it should "just work"? I am newbie to NuGet and MvvmCross. I am on Win7, VS.NET 2012, NuGet 2.7.40911.225, and latest MvvmCross-Tutorials from GitHub.
The problem will probably be in 'net40' and 'wp' platforms you've included - for PCL reasons we need a minimum of 'net45' and wp75' used - see the chart in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg597391.aspx for the fact that 'net40' doesn't currently support Mvvm Types (e.g. INotifyPropertyChanged).
If it helps, my current development setup here has remained unchanged since March - it's still http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/my-current-pcl-setup-in-visual-studio.html
Shouldn't the project just be ready to go for NuGet and it should "just work"?
The process towards getting all the tooling for PCLs, nuget, VS, XS, etc working across all the platforms has been slow, hard work.... it is happening and it will one day 'just work' but it continues to take time and lots of work from lots of people.
There are still open workitems within nuget and within Xamarin - e.g. http://nuget.codeplex.com/workitem/2926 - which people are working on; some of the MS legal hurdles have recently been cleared (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2013/10/14/portable-class-library-pcl-now-available-on-all-platforms.aspx); and technically things change on the Xamarin side with almost every Alpha release. But it is hard to get definitive answers on when things will be 100% ready and will "just work".
The good news is that:
with the 2 XML files from http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/my-current-pcl-setup-in-visual-studio.html I and plenty of others have been happily using PCLs and nuget for the last 6 months or so.
progress is still moving forwards

Nuget, Castle Windsor Client Profile vs Full Profile

I'm trying to use Castle Windsor with Log4Net facility. I've installed the packages through Nuget.
The requirement for this to work is to use Full profile Castle.LoggingFacility. Nuget referenced the Client Profile version.
How can I force Nuget to install the Full profile version?
I might be wrong but it sounds like the issue with the target framework setting on your project:
for Castle.Windsor to work it has to be set to .NET Framework 4 rather than to .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.
You can configure it by opening project properties, tab Application (in Visual studio) or just editing the project file.
If that's about the version of the package after all, then usually using NuGet you can append a flag install-package Castle.Windsor -version 2.5.3 to specify which one to install, but I couldn't find any options there when it comes to Castle.LoggingFacility.
I had the same problem earlier and I think you should check your packages.config file. There could be targetFramework="net40-client",
which points NUGet to the packages\Castle.LoggingFacility.3.2.0\lib\net40-client directory.
Simply change it to net40 and all's done.

Does protobuf-net support Windows RT?

Is it possible to use the protobuf-net library in an application that targets Windows RT? I tried adding it via NuGet to my project but I receive this error:
Successfully installed 'protobuf-net 2.0.0.480'.
Successfully uninstalled 'protobuf-net 2.0.0.480'.
Install failed. Rolling back...
Could not install package 'protobuf-net 2.0.0.480'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETCore,Version=v4.5', but the package does not contain any assembly references that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
You need a newer version. Version 594 has support for 4.5.
In the package manager console (Tools->Library Package Manager->Package Manager Console) run:
PM> Install-Package protobuf-net -Version 2.0.0.594
Or download it from the project web site.
Yes, the more recent builds have full support for .NETCore (aka "WinRT", "Windows Store Applications", or "Metro", or "Modern UI", or whatever they want to call it today). As Eli notes, you can obtain it by specific version, or you can get it from the google-code download.
Note that for the best performance it is recommended to use "precompile", the new precompiler, because .NETCore has no support for meta-programming: without this, it will be using reflection at runtime, and will not be anywhere near as fast as it can be. This is included in the google-code download.
