title: Is there a way to get LinqPad to work with an EF Core context?
body: <p>I am trying to figure out if there is something I am missing or some way to hack around the lack of support (yet) for Entity Framework Core <code>DbContexts</code> in LinqPad.  I've compiled my code targeting 4.6.1 (as <a href="http://forum.linqpad.net/discussion/comment/2688/#Comment_2688" rel="noreferrer">suggested on the LinqPad forum</a>) and tried the "Entity Framework V7" driver, but as its name suggests, I don't believe it's up-to-date. It still asks for an app.config file or a connection string for the constructor.  </p>

  <p>Since EF Core contexts use <code>DbContextOptions</code> for construction rather than connection strings, I was thinking I could possibly create a constructor overload that takes a connection string, but that doesn't handle the underlying database driver.  Is there a way to specify a factory for constructing the context?  Any other possibilities?  I'm feeling lost without LinqPad. </p>
