Changing schema name on runtime - Entity Framework

Question

I need to change the storage schema of the entities on runtime. I\'ve followed a wonderful post, available here: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/idof/archive/2008/08/22/c

Not an answer per se but a followup on Jan Matousek's Create[EntityConnection] method showing how to use from a DbContext. Note DB is the DbContext type passed to the generic repository.

 public TxRepository(bool pUseTracking, string pServer, string pDatabase, string pSchema="dbo")
{
    // make our own EF database connection string using server and database names
    string lConnectionString = BuildEFConnectionString(pServer, pDatabase);

    // do nothing special for dbo as that is the default
    if (pSchema == "dbo")
    {
        // supply dbcontext with our connection string
        mDbContext = Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(DB), lConnectionString) as DB;
    }
    else // change the schema in the edmx file before we use it!
    {
        // Create an EntityConnection and use that to create an ObjectContext,
        // then that to create a DbContext with a different default schema from that specified for the edmx file.
        // This allows us to have parallel tables in the database that we can make available using either schema or synonym renames.
        var lEntityConnection = CreateEntityConnection(pSchema, lConnectionString, "TxData");

        // create regular ObjectContext
        ObjectContext lObjectContext = new ObjectContext(lEntityConnection);

        // create a DbContext from an existing ObjectContext
        mDbContext = Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(DB), lObjectContext, true) as DB;
    }

    // finish EF setup
    SetupAndOpen(pUseTracking);
}
