In Startup.cs Configure Services this works:
var connection = Configuration["ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection"];
services.AddDbContext<MyDbContext>(
options => { options.UseSqlServer(connection); });
In my MyDbContext.cs class this doesn't work:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using OESAC.Models;
namespace OESAC.Models
{
public class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
public MyDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyDbContext> options)
: base(options)
{ }
public DbSet<Courses> Courses { get; set; }
public DbSet<Sponsors> Sponsors{ get; set; }
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
{
var connection = Configuration["ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection"];
optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(connection);
;
}
}
}
I can hardcode the connection string but I want it to dynamically change based on my appSettings.Development.json and appSettngs.json (production). I can't believe the time I've spent trying to figure this out. It has cost me way over what I am being paid.
