sqlbulk read from entety connection code example

Example: entity fast insert recordset

// at some point in my calling code, I will call:
var myDataTable = CreateMyDataTable();
myDataTable.Rows.Add(Guid.NewGuid,tableHeaderId,theName,theValue); // e.g. - need this call for each row to insert

var connectionString = efConnectionStringBuilder.ProviderConnectionString;
