Integrating a SQLite database in your c# application

Hello all,
I needed in one of my project to store data in a database, So as I only know Mysql I directly jump on it.
But my big problem was that I have to put all of the files in one package the thing that Mysql won't allow me to do, cause Mysql is a server database witch means that we can only connect to it and not integrate it in our application like this example . (correct me if I'm wrong please)
So I searched more and I found this little piece of jewellery System.data.sql.dll witch is a SQL based database direct link library that could be simply integrated in your C# application.
These are some tools I used to create and manage my database:
Some useful tutoriels:
using the sqlite function and send SQL queries. 
Gives a very useful class to manage data with dataGridView, inserting , updating and all those stuff
I added a method that can create data table:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SQLite;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class SQLiteDatabase
{
    String dbConnection;

    /// <summary>
    ///     Default Constructor for SQLiteDatabase Class.
    /// </summary>
    public SQLiteDatabase()
    {
        dbConnection = "Data Source=REMOTES.s3db";
    }

    /// <summary>
    ///     Single Param Constructor for specifying the DB file.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="inputFile">The File containing the DB</param>
    public SQLiteDatabase(String inputFile)
    {
        dbConnection = String.Format("Data Source={0}", inputFile);
    }

    /// <summary>
    ///     Single Param Constructor for specifying advanced connection options.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="connectionOpts">A dictionary containing all desired options and their values</param>
    public SQLiteDatabase(Dictionary<String, String> connectionOpts)
    {
        String str = "";
        foreach (KeyValuePair<String, String> row in connectionOpts)
        {
            str += String.Format("{0}={1}; ", row.Key, row.Value);
        }
        str = str.Trim().Substring(0, str.Length - 1);
        dbConnection = str;
    }

    /// <summary>

            SQLiteCommand mycommand = new SQLiteCommand(cnn);
            mycommand.CommandText = sql;
            SQLiteDataReader reader = mycommand.ExecuteReader();
            dt.Load(reader);
            reader.Close();
            cnn.Close();
