Accessing Sqlite Database from Windows Forms Application in C++ - c++

Question

I am new to C++ (was previously into Java) and I am trying to find my way around it for the past few days. I am having a Sqlite DB in my local Machine which I am trying to access in order to display the results of a query on a Windows Application Form using DataGridView.
I was able to locate a good place to start here but later discovered that this was more concentrated towards SQL server and not SQLite and the code failed when I tried to replace this part of code
String^ connectionString =
"Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;" +
"Initial Catalog=Northwind;Data Source=localhost";
with this
String^ connectionString = "Data Source=C:\\data\\test.db"
to point to my local Sqlite DB (test.db).
Upon more digging I found that I was able to find C# examples for linking SQLite DB to Windows Form Application here. Next I tried to convert the C# code provided into a C++ one but failed.
I have been looking all around for simple C++ examples which would help me understand how to link a Sqlite DB to a Windows Form Application but am not able to do so yet.
I would appreciate it greatly if anyone could point me to one such example.

To access SQLite DB from managed code use System.Data.SQLite library. It's a managed library supported by SQLite Development Team and you can use it with managed C++ also. Here is the sample:
using namespace System::Data::SQLite;
using namespace System::Text;
void Test()
{
SQLiteConnection ^db = gcnew SQLiteConnection();
try
{
db->ConnectionString = "Data Source=C:\\data\\test.db";
db->Open();
// Do the job here
db->Close();
}
finally
{
delete (IDisposable^)db;
}
}
