EntityFramework edmx does not support Provider="Microsoft.Data.SqlClient" #95

Firstly thanks the workaround you have provided!

This is an issue that I think you are aware of but was wondering if you plan on adding a fix or if I'm doing something wrong. I Have two projects. The business project has the edmx file and designer. The API project has the controllers. With your software I can get everything to work as long as I change the edmx file set as below.

This is a limitation in the Visual Studio designer, and out of my control. In other words, this package is a run-time solution, not a design time solution. I will try to add this to the EDMX related docs.
