    InitializeComponent();
    this.dt = new DataTable();
}
private SQLiteConnection SQLiteConnection;
private void DataClass()
{
    SQLiteConnection = new SQLiteConnection("Data Source=PasswordManager.s3db;Version=3;");
}
private void GetData()
{
    SQLiteDataAdapter DataAdapter;
    try
    {
    SQLiteCommand cmd;
    SQLiteConnection.Open();  //Initiate connection to the db
    cmd = SQLiteConnection.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandText = "select*from PasswordManager;";  //set the passed query
    DataAdapter = new SQLiteDataAdapter(cmd);
    DataAdapter.Fill(dt); //fill the datasource
    dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
}
catch(SQLiteException ex)

In addition to the answer provided by Darin, there is no "create database" command in SQLite (from what I remember). When you initiate a "SQLiteConnection", if the given database (.db3) does not exist, it automatically creates it... from there, you can then create your tables.

You could use the System.Data.SQLite ADO.NET provider. Once you download and reference the assembly, it's pretty straightforward ADO.NET code:

using (var conn = new SQLiteConnection(@"Data Source=test.db3"))
using (var cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
{
    conn.Open();
    cmd.CommandText = "SELECT id FROM foo";
    using (var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
    {
        while (reader.Read())
        {
            int id = reader.GetInt32(reader.GetOrdinal("id"));
            ...
        }
    }
}
