Is there a way to make the default providers work with a connection string with providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"? I have EF set up for my main app and I have another connection string providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" just for providers and it's kind of annoying.
I found the answer. Apparently the System.Data.EntityClient connection string only works for use with Entity Framework queries and not ASP.NET Providers.
