Configures the context to connect to the legacy shared in-memory database. This method is obsolete. Use UseInMemoryDatabase(DbContextOptionsBuilder, String, Action<InMemoryDbContextOptionsBuilder>) instead.

UseInMemoryDatabase(DbContextOptionsBuilder, String, Action<InMemoryDbContextOptionsBuilder>)

Configures the context to connect to a named in-memory database. The in-memory database is shared anywhere the same name is used, but only for a given service provider. To use the same in-memory database across service providers, call UseInMemoryDatabase(DbContextOptionsBuilder, String, InMemoryDatabaseRoot, Action<InMemoryDbContextOptionsBuilder>) passing a shared InMemoryDatabaseRoot on which to root the database.
