Entity Framework, checking the connection string of your context

Sometimes when using Entity Framework I want to verify that I’m connected to the database I think I’m connected to.

Here’s how to check in Entity Framework 5, Entity Framework 6 and Entity Framework Core 1 (EF 7)

//Entity Framework 5
myContext.Database.Connection.ConnectionString
//Entity Framework 6
myContext.Database.Connection.ConnectionString
//Entity Framework Core 1
myContext.Database.GetDbConnection().ConnectionString
