An instance of this class can be set on the Database class to cause all DbContexts created with no connection information or just a database name or connection string to use SQL Server by default. This class is immutable since multiple threads may access instances simultaneously when creating connections.

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
