Description

**Help us make content visible**

Loading of Sqlite extensions is documented on this site:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/data/sqlite/extensions

An example of the extension loading process is described in this file:
https://github.com/dotnet/docs/blob/main/samples/snippets/standard/data/sqlite/ExtensionsSample/Program.cs

But what is unclear is, what Nuget Packages are needed, that the extensions could be found?

The extension I would like to use is Spellfix1.
It would be cool, if it could be described, if it is contained in a Nuget packages, or if the manual extension compilation is needed.

**Describe the new article**

- the new article would make using Sqlite extensions more easy with C# and .Net Core.
- The article should cover which Nuget packages are needed and what steps has to be done, to use Sqlite extensions like spellfix1.
- The linked [Sqlite load extension example code](https://github.com/dotnet/docs/blob/main/samples/snippets/standard/data/sqlite/ExtensionsSample/Program.cs) seems overly complicated. Maybe are more intuitive version is possible.
