Specifying .config file with entity framework

deusextechnic — Tue, 31 May 2016 20:47:32 GMT

Hi, I am using entity framework code first approach to write/read to a database from autocad.net. I have a solution whereby I am adding the database connection string to the acad.exe.config file contained in autocad root in Program files. This is not really an elegant solution and is causing me issues with access. Is there a way I can point my DBContext derived class to a .config residing inside the plugin rather than acad.exe.config?

Hi,

Please add App.config to your application, if you build the application .config should be present in the release folder(in release mode).

Thanks
