Using SQLite from .net, Is there a way to access the .dump command or something equivalent from the SQLiteConnection class?

The . dump command converts the entire structure and data of an SQLite database into a single text file.
SQLiteConnection is a single connection to sqlite database. It wraps the sqlite3* database handle from SQLite C Interface. Unless otherwise specified, methods are confined to the thread that was used to open the connection.
dump command dumps the total database. The above example shows a specific table table1 have been used along with . dump command to dump only the specific table.
The .dump command is part of the sqlite command line program (shell.c), not part of the sqlite library. So, it is unlikely to be provided by a .net connection class.
However, since the source code for the sqlite command line program is in the public domain, and uses the same library as the .net wrapper, it would be possible to translate the C code for the .dump command to C#. See the function do_meta_command in this file.
