How to use ConnectionString with DbContext using Entity Framework code first?

Question

I am working with a Windows Forms Application and have added Entity Framework 6 to the project. I have created a class where I can pass in the table name so I can use one class with many different tables. I want to use EF Code First without the wizard. How do you set the connection string for the DbContext? I know in ASP.NET MVC you can set it in the app.Config file but this is a Windows Forms Application. How do you set the connection string in order to get the data from the SQL Server?

public class TimerContext : DbContext
{
 private readonly string _tableName;
 public TimerContext(string tableName) : base("name=TimerContext")
 {
 _tableName = tableName;
 }
 protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
 {
 modelBuilder.Entity<Timer>().ToTable(_tableName);
 base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
 }
 public IEnumerable<Timer> Timers { get; set; }
}

Right click on your project, choose Add -> New Items -> Application config file.

Add you connection string in the newly created app.config file and you're done.
