I'm trying to get EntityFramework 6 with dotConnect for Oracle working on Mono. I have also all app configuration defined in userSettings section.
First thing I noticed is that my app has always default configuration, then I tried to make Devart.Data.Oracle provider working, but I got an error:
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider 'Devart.Data.Oracle'.
I checked my app with strace and using MONO_LOG_LEVEL:
MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug mono Host.exe | grep config
And config file is loaded (successfully) couple of times during app startup.
I found few bug reports about configuration in mono, but they are quite old and I don't know if still actual.

Could you give me a hint how to get rid of provider section in App.config? I've managed to move almost all configuration to code (except of providers).
