Help with EF Code first connection string

Im trying to implement a UnitofWork pattern using this Scott Allen tutorial

My current SqlUnitOfWork is the folowing

public class SqlUnitOfWork : IUnitOfWork {

        public SqlUnitOfWork() {
            var connectionString =
                ConfigurationManager
                    .ConnectionStrings[ConnectionStringName]
                    .ConnectionString;

            _context = new ObjectContext(connectionString);
            _context.ContextOptions.LazyLoadingEnabled = true;
        }

        public IRepository<PhysicalTest> PhysicalTests
        {
       开发者_StackOverflow中文版     get {
                if (_physicalTests == null)
                {
                    _physicalTests = new SqlRepository<PhysicalTest>(_context);
                }
                return _physicalTests;
            }
        }

        public IRepository<EHR> EHRs
        {
            get
            {
                if (_EHRs == null)
                {
                    _EHRs = new SqlRepository<EHR>(_context);
                }
                return _EHRs;
            }
        }



        public void Commit() {
            _context.SaveChanges();
        }

        SqlRepository<PhysicalTest> _physicalTests = null;
        SqlRepository<EHR> _EHRs = null;

        readonly ObjectContext _context;
        const string ConnectionStringName = "default";
    }

and my current connection string is the following

<add name="default" connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;MultipleActiveResultSets=True; initial catalog=MyAppDB" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

It's also worth pointing out that my controllers that are using controllers that were created with mvcscaffolding work fine but the unit of work (which for some reason needs a connectrion string as parameter instead of just using MyAppDBContext() instance) doesnt work.

The error I get when I try to invoke an action inside a controllr with the following code:

public class PhysicalTestsController : Controller
    {
        private IUnitOfWork unitOfWork;
        private IRepository<EHR> ehrRepository;


        public PhysicalTestsController(IUnitOfWork unit)
        {
            unitOfWork = unit;
            ehrRepository = unitOfWork.EHRs;
        }


        public ActionResult Index(int ehrId, int? page)
        {
            EHR ehr = ehrRepository.FindById(ehrId);
            if (ehr.UserName != User.Identity.Name)
                return View("Invalid Owner");
            const int pageSize = 5;
            var physicaltests = ehr.PhysicalTests.OrderByDescending(test => test.CreationDate);
            List<PhysicalTestListItem> physicalTestsVM = new List<PhysicalTestListItem>();
            Mapper.Map(physicaltests, physicalTestsVM);
            var paginatedTests = new PaginatedList<PhysicalTestListItem>(physicalTestsVM, page ?? 0, pageSize);
            return View(paginatedTests);
        }
}

is this one

I have changed my SqlRepository to:

public class SqlRepository<T> : IRepository<T>
                                    where T : class, IEntity {

        internal SummumnetDB context;
        internal DbSet<T> _objectSet;

        public SqlRepository(SummumnetDB context)
        {
            this.context = context;
            this._objectSet = context.Set<T>();
        }

..... rest of my methods here

}

and

my SqlUnitofWork to

public class SqlUnitOfWork : IUnitOfWork {

        private SummumnetDB _context = new SummumnetDB();

        public IRepository<PhysicalTest> PhysicalTests
        {
            get {
                if (_physicalTests == null)
                {
                    _physicalTests = new SqlRepository<PhysicalTest>(_context);
                }
                return _physicalTests;
            }
        }..... rest of code here

please correct me if this modifications are not appropriate or break one of these patterns

You are using ObjectContext not DbContext. ObjectContext uses EntityConnection and its System.Data.EntityClient provider. It's connection string has different format.
