Release

Works with Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework 1.0.0

Similar to what we did for release candidate, but we do this in a different place. Open IdentityModels.cs that was created as part of the VS template and add the following constructor to the ApplicationDbContext class:

public ApplicationDbContext(string nameOrConnectionString)
    : base(nameOrConnectionString)
{
}

and you can now change the parameterless constructor in AccountController from

public AccountController()
    : this(new UserManager(new UserStore(new ApplicationDbContext())))
{
}

to

public AccountController()
    : this(new UserManager(new UserStore(new ApplicationDbContext("YourNameOrConnectionString"))))
{
}

and your done.
