.Net Core appsettings.json connection string

Not sure if it is just me, but I am not able to get the DataConnection to pick up the connection string from the config file in a .Net core WebApi app.

I’ve tried the normal web.config, appsettings.json, app.config and none of them work. I’ve tried:

1. Linq2DB-1.7.6
2. Linq2DB Core and
3. linq2db.Core -Version 1.7.7-rc547 in a blank, .Net Core (.Net Framework) WebApi project in VS2015.

public class DbContext : LinqToDB.Data.DataConnection
{
    public DbContext(string configuration) : base(configuration)
    {
        ..//
    }
}

using (var dtx = new DbContext("DataConnection"))
{
     ..//
}

maybe look at this https://github.com/linq2db/linq2db/blob/master/Tests/Tests.NetCore/ConfigurationTest.cs

Hello, now for .Net Core there is the package System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager. Is it possible to update documentation to explain how to use ConfigurationManager in .Net Core console applications?

Thank you!
