AppSettings

[Guest]

Hi-I am wondering how the static property AppSettings takes index. I'd like to do the same thing but I can't make the this method static by definition and can't pass a parameter to a static property. Any idea? thx-Moheb

It's a static property, but it returns a NameValueCollection instance
(which is not static). That's the object with the "this[]" indexer.

Its a bit strange because the returning type determines the incomming args, but I guess some overloading is happening underneath which makes this possible. Anyway, I tested it and it works. Thanks for your input.
