Specify Connection string for Entity Framework used from multiple projects

I am currently using EntityFramework 4 with POCO objects. The POCO objects are located in their own .net project (project.Models). The Context is located in the DAL project (project.DAL). I have multiple other projects that I wish to use the context/models, for Example:

project.Website

project.Webservice

project.ConsoleApplication

Q开发者_如何学Gouestion: How do I set the Context's connection string myself?

I have noticed that the Context object automatically finds the connection string in the web.config of the website if I add it there. Do I need to do something similiar for all the other projects? This seems inelegant and i think i'd rather have a way to manually configure it from my own config file or something.

Thanks! AFrieze

You can pass a connection string as the first argument to the ObjectContext constructor. Read it from wherever you like and pass it explicitly, if that's what you want.
