In build file,reference MB dll:

Code

			<references>
		        <include name='C:\Program Files (x86)\MusicBee\System.Data.SQLite.dll'/>
			</references>

In plugin, just SQlite away:

Code

using System.Data.SQLite; //http://system.data.sqlite.org
pluginDBFileName = mbApi.Setting_GetPersistentStoragePath()+sep+about.Name+".db";			
DB = new SQLiteConnection(@"Data Source="+pluginDBFileName);
DB.Open();
