title: Shared Connection Strings in Entity Framework
body: <p>I want to create a single connectionString in my Web.config and then re-use it in the "provider connection string" attribute of all Modules declarations.</p>
  
  <p>example :
  Declare a connection string this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;add name="MyConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.;Initial
  Catalog=MyDB;User ID=username;Password=pwd;" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then share this connection between modules:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;add name="Module1Context" connectionString="metadata=res//*/Module1.csdl| ... | 
  ...;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=MyConnectionString" 
  providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>Is this possible?</p>
