ConnectionString - issue with .NET Core 2.0

[RobertK]

When you check the box "Use the following connection from App.Config" (under model settings).

The following statement is generated in the context file

Code: Select all

        private static string GetConnectionString(string connectionStringName)
        {
            System.Configuration.ConnectionStringSettings connectionStringSettings = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[connectionStringName];
            if (connectionStringSettings == null)
                throw new InvalidOperationException("Connection string \"" + connectionStringName +"\" could not be found in the configuration file.");
            return connectionStringSettings.ConnectionString;
        }

There is an issue with "System.Configuration.ConnectionStringSettings" this method is missing, it has been forwarded to ConfigurationManager.

1. Are you using a standalone Entity Developer or the one embedded in your Visual Studio?

2. Is Target framework of your project ".NET Framework" or ".NET Core" or ".NET Standard"?

In case of ".NET Framework", make sure that your project includes a reference to System.Configuration.dll.

.NET Core

In case of ".NET Framework", make sure that your project includes a reference to System.Configuration.dll.

Using .NET Core

A standalone Entity Developer generates code for .NET Framework.

Please use Entity Developer embedded in Visual Studio, in this case it will generate the code depending on target framework of your Visual Studio project.
