System.Configuration ConfigurationManager

[Stefan Hoffmann]

hi @all,

I have a project without a reference to System.Configuration.

Why can I use the static class ConfigurationSettings, but not the static
class ConfigurationManager?

I can use ConfigurationManager when adding the reference explicitly to
my project.

btw, after adding this reference, it is displayed as
"System.configuration" with a lower-case c.

Why can I use the static class ConfigurationSettings, but not the static

class ConfigurationManager?

Because ConfigurationSettings is in System.dll; ConfigurationManager
is in System.Configuration.dll

by default VS adds using system; system.dll reference is already
added.

However ConfigurationManager belongs to System.Configuration.dll which
you added manually.

Thanks to both of you.

I'm still getting confused sometimes by the differences between files
and namespaces.
