c# Entity Framework EF 4.1 Modifica lo schema e il nome del database in fase di esecuzione

In realtà, avevo bisogno di una soluzione anche per questo. Ho preparato rapidamente una soluzione, che funziona bene. Non ho trovato molte informazioni su questo in Internet, quindi non sono sicuro che "EF 4.1 viene fornito con strumenti di supporto migliori per farlo".

L'esempio concreto "Cambiare il nome dello schema in runtime - Entity Framework" non ha funzionato del tutto per me, tuttavia con alcune piccole modifiche l'ho fatto funzionare.

Ecco una classe DatabaseUtils che può farlo:

internal static class DatabaseUtils
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Builds the connection string for Entity framework.
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static EntityConnection BuildConnection(BuildConnectionParams buildConnectionParams)
    {
        var sqlBuilder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder
            {
                DataSource = buildConnectionParams.ServerName,
                InitialCatalog = buildConnectionParams.DatabaseName,
                IntegratedSecurity = true
            };

        var providerString = sqlBuilder.ToString();
        var entityBuilder = new EntityConnectionStringBuilder
        {
            Provider = buildConnectionParams.ProviderName,
            ProviderConnectionString = providerString,
            Metadata = string.Format(@"res://*/{0}.csdl|
                        res://*/{0}.ssdl|
                        res://*/{0}.msl", buildConnectionParams.ModelName)
        };

        return CreateConnection(buildConnectionParams.SchemaName, entityBuilder, buildConnectionParams.ModelName);
    }


    /// <summary>
    /// Creates the EntityConnection, based on new schema & existing connectionString
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="schemaName">Name of the schema.</param>
    /// <param name="connectionBuilder"></param>
    /// <param name="modelName">Name of the model.</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    private static EntityConnection CreateConnection(string schemaName, EntityConnectionStringBuilder connectionBuilder, string modelName)
    {
        Func<string, Stream> generateStream =
            extension => Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(string.Concat(modelName, extension));

        Action<IEnumerable<Stream>> disposeCollection = streams =>
        {
            if (streams == null)
                return;

            foreach (var stream in streams.Where(stream => stream != null))
                stream.Dispose();
        };

        var conceptualReader = generateStream(".csdl");
        var mappingReader = generateStream(".msl");
        var storageReader = generateStream(".ssdl");

        if (conceptualReader == null || mappingReader == null || storageReader == null)
        {
            disposeCollection(new[] { conceptualReader, mappingReader, storageReader });
            return null;
        }

        var storageXml = XElement.Load(storageReader);

        foreach (var entitySet in storageXml.Descendants())
        {
            var schemaAttribute = entitySet.Attributes("Schema").FirstOrDefault();
            if (schemaAttribute != null)
                schemaAttribute.SetValue(schemaName);
        }

        storageXml.CreateReader();

        var workspace = new MetadataWorkspace();

        var storageCollection = new StoreItemCollection(new[] { storageXml.CreateReader() });
        var conceptualCollection = new EdmItemCollection(new[] { XmlReader.Create(conceptualReader) });
        var mappingCollection = new StorageMappingItemCollection(conceptualCollection, 
                                                                storageCollection,
                                                                new[] { XmlReader.Create(mappingReader) });

        workspace.RegisterItemCollection(conceptualCollection);
        workspace.RegisterItemCollection(storageCollection);
        workspace.RegisterItemCollection(mappingCollection);

        var connection = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(connectionBuilder.Provider).CreateConnection();
        if (connection == null)
        {
            disposeCollection(new[] { conceptualReader, mappingReader, storageReader });
            return null;
        }

        connection.ConnectionString = connectionBuilder.ProviderConnectionString;
        return new EntityConnection(workspace, connection);
    }
}

Utilizzo:

/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="DynamicAQDContext"/> class.
/// </summary>
public DynamicAQDContext()
{
    var entityConnection = DatabaseUtils.BuildConnection(new BuildConnectionParams
    {
        ProviderName = "System.Data.SqlClient",
        ServerName = "localhost\\",
        DatabaseName = "",
        ModelName = "YOURMODEL",
        SchemaName = "SCHEMA"
    });

    if(entityConnection == null)
        throw new Exception("Can't create EntityConnection");

    _entities = new LINKEntities(entityConnection);
}
