This is a Multi Tenent DB where we have 3 Different DB's. Centralized DB is in common location and would not be changed. This is where rest of the DB details will be stored. I need to create the Connection string @ runtime where the details will be coming from this centralized DB. Can some one please let me know how to go about it?
I tried with the following code, but it is not working. This Method will be called here
public ProcessContext()
: base(nameOrConnectionString: ConnectionString())
{
}
private static string ConnectionString()
{
SqlConnectionStringBuilder sqlBuilder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder();
sqlBuilder.DataSource = "XXX";
sqlBuilder.InitialCatalog = "YYY";
sqlBuilder.PersistSecurityInfo = true;
sqlBuilder.IntegratedSecurity = true;
sqlBuilder.MultipleActiveResultSets = true;
EntityConnectionStringBuilder entityBuilder = new EntityConnectionStringBuilder();
entityBuilder.ProviderConnectionString = sqlBuilder.ToString();
entityBuilder.Metadata = "res://*/";
entityBuilder.Provider = "System.Data.SqlClient";
return entityBuilder.ToString();
}
For SQL Server connection, override the entity container class: (works in EF6, SQL server 2012 express, VS2013)
public partial class PxxxxEntities
{
private PxxxxEntities(string connectionString)
: base(connectionString)
{
}
public static PxxxxEntities ConnectToSqlServer(string host, string catalog, string user, string pass, bool winAuth)
{
SqlConnectionStringBuilder sqlBuilder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder
{
DataSource = host,
InitialCatalog = catalog,
PersistSecurityInfo = true,
IntegratedSecurity = winAuth,
MultipleActiveResultSets = true,
UserID = user,
Password = pass,
};
// assumes a connectionString name in .config of MyDbEntities
var entityConnectionStringBuilder = new EntityConnectionStringBuilder
{
Provider = "System.Data.SqlClient",
ProviderConnectionString = sqlBuilder.ConnectionString,
Metadata = "res://*/DbModel.csdl|res://*/DbModel.ssdl|res://*/DbModel.msl",
};
return new PxxxxEntities(entityConnectionStringBuilder.ConnectionString);
}
}
