Invalid token in declaration

[Andy Sutorius via DotNetMonster.com]

With this line (asp.net/c#):
colNameVal = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings;
I get "invalid token '=' in declaration". I also get it for "invalid token
';' in declaration".
I don't understand what the compiler is trying to say. Can you clarify/solve?

try:

NameValueCollection colNameVal =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings;

instead of

colNameVal = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings;

It would also help if you could display the line immediately before the line
you showed. It could be missing a semicolon, or have somethign wrong with
it.

Thank you for your help I found the solution. I had the namevaluecollection
and the appsettings line in the class. I moved it to the button onclick and
it worked. I looked up the error code in the ms library and it gave me a clue
what the compiler was asking me to do.
