Question

I need to build a dynamic connection string as shown in this tutorial:

However this code is very above my skill level. Can any help guid me through this(be very specific, please)?

The tutorial states that we need to create a partial class, but where should does this class be placed?

My .edmx file is named DBModel.edmx

my .tt file is name TraxzDBContext.tt

The connection string need to be similar to the one that follows:

<add name="TraxzDBEntities"
 connectionString="metadata=res://*/;
       provider=System.Data.SqlClient;
       provider connection string='Data Source=d5d3955e-1183-4e10-8892-9f9d005af0a8.sqlserver.sequelizer.com;
       User ID=1; 
       Password=1;
       Initial Catalog=dbd5d3955e11834e1088929f9d005af0a8;
       MultipleActiveResultSets=True'"
 providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

Or if there is a better method of creating a dynamic string in the same fashion that is created in the tutorial, let me know.

Thanks to anyone who solves this issue.

You can create a partial class in any place in the same assembly where your DBModel.edmx file is. Just make sure that you use the same namespace.
