I investigated this question today. in my opinion the easiest solution is not mentioned above.

Why not use the SqlConnectionStringBuilder class? (using System.Data.SqlClient)

Here a simple example how to use it.

    SqlConnectionStringBuilder sqlb = new  SqlConnectionStringBuilder(getConnectionString(DATABASENAME);

    using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(sqlb.ConnectionString))
    ...
    )

    // works for EF Core, should also work for EF6 (haven't tried this) 
    private static string getConnectionString(string databaseName)
    {
        return "Data Source=SQLSERVERNAME;Initial Catalog="+databaseName+";Integrated Security=True";
    }
