Question

I just upgraded to EF Code First CTP 4 and it looks like the ContextBuilder class was removed. I currently create my ObjectContext like so (in CTP 3):

var contextBuilder = new ContextBuilder<ObjectContext>();
var connstr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConn"];
var connection = new SqlConnection(connstr.ConnectionString);
var ctx = contextBuilder.Create(connection);

I do not want to create a hardcoded class deriving from ObjectContext like so many of their examples seem to do. Anyone know how to do this in the new version?

Here is the modified way that it should be done:

var modelBuilder = new ModelBuilder();
var dbModel = modelBuilder.CreateModel();
var ctx = dbModel.CreateObjectContext<ObjectContext>(connection);

Note that you only want to call CreateModel once per application.
