How to specify connectionstring explicitly for Entity Framework DBContext

Question

My BaseDBContext.cs uses the BaseDBContext key in connectionstrings by default.

How can I explicitly set which key to use? I.e. if I want it to use DefaultConnection instead?

Answer 1

Use this constructor of DbContext class

public class BaseDBContext : DbContext
{
 public BaseDBContext()
 : base("DefaultConnection")
 {
 }
}
