• It works! Your blog luks really professional
  

• Warning 1 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings' is obsolete: 'This method is obsolete, it has been replaced by System.Configuration!System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings'
  
  

• Thanks...It works for me even.
  
  Have a nice day!!
  

• that exclamation mark is really confusing, what does it mean!?!
  
  System.Configuration!System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings
  
  why doesn't it just say, replace with "System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings"
  
  

• It's shorthand for specifying the DLL and the fully qualified class/property. The form is 'assemblyname!property/class/field'. So this indicates the System.Configuration dll.

• hi..I've done just as you posted but it seems as it doesnt work for me. I am using visual c# 2005 express edition. I'm still getting "Configuration system failed to initialize" and {"Unrecognized configuration section AppSettings."} exception
  
  below is part of my app.config
  
  
  
  
  do you have any idea what the probable cause is?
  
  Syukran!
  

• Heyy... thanks. This was doing my head in, as I couldn't find the ConfigurationManager class.
  
  Much appreciated.

• @Miley Just make sure you have added a reference to System.Configuration assembly
  Clicking Project -> Add Reference -> From .NET components choose System.Configuration
