They have changed (much improved) the configuration management api's
in .NET 2.0. This is telling you that you may want to switch to the
new api's. You do this by adding a reference to
System.Configuration.dll, and then you can access your appsettings
section via ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.

Also, you may want to check out the My namespace stuff in VB2005 - it
has a lot of support for settings.

Hi

There is no dll under System.Configuration. Also System.Configuration is
already imported. Using ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get(key) instead of
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get(key) gives the error
'ConfigurationManager' is not declared.

Thanks

John,

Try changing it to this:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings

Using System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get(key) gives
the error 'ConfigurationManager' is not a member of 'Configuration'.

Many Thanks

- Show quoted text -

System.Configuration.dll - go and add it to your project references.
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager lives in that dll. VB2005 -
may very well add it automatically, because of the new my
functionality. I can assure you that in .net 2.0 there most certainly
is a system.configuration.dll - i work in C#, and it does not import
it by default.
