Does it pull the connection string from the web.config?
And does it handle connection pooling also?

How is the session or context in entity framework configured?
Does it pull the connection string from the web.config?
And does it handle connection pooling also?
The Entity Framework context is usually configured using the app.config file for a standalone application or the web.config file for a web app, the connection string is part of this configuration. There is an overloaded constructor though that will allow you to “manually” pass in a connection string to be used if this default does not work for you.
The EF context is just a wrapper over a SQL connection, so if the underlying connection supports connection pooling – i.e. SQL Server Connection Pooling (ADO.NET) – this will work the same way with an EF context.
