web.config

I created an Entity Framework file. My database is called MyDB. My Entity Framework file is MyDB.edmx and I used an existing connection string (MyDBConnectionString) to generate the edmx model.

It created two more connection strings: MyDBEntities MyDBContainer

What are these for? They look exactly the same and both have the information from my old connection string.

Do I still need my old connection string?
