MissingMethodException and ConfigurationSettings with OpenNETCF

[Thomas Schumacher]

Hello Newsgroup,

i try to use the ConfigurationSettings Method from the OpenNETCF Assembly. I
get a MissingMethodException but i don't no why.

Here my app.config and the code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-2"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="DataSource" value="\Application\database.sdf" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

public Sub Test()
try
msgbox(OpenNETCF.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Item("DataSource")
ex as exception
msgbox ex.ToString
end try
End Sub

My Hardware is a Symbol PPT8800

Any ideas

Best Regards Thomas

Hi,

Your config file has to be named: appname.exe.config, where appname is the
name of your application (project). Then you can read the setting with this
code:

ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("DataSource")


Cheers,
Sampath.

Hi,

thanks for your answer, but i know that. App.config is the name in my VS
Project ;-)
my exename is test.exe and the config file is named test.exe.config
But this is not working :-(
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("DataSource") fire the
MissingMethodException
