ConfigurationManager missing (?)

[phinoppix]

I'm trying to access System.Configuration.Configuration or the ConfigurationManager class on .net 2. The ConfigurationSettings seem to keep showing up in the intellisense and if I use it, the compiler warns me that it's obsolete and I should use the former.

I looked on the object browser (and project explorer) to verify if I'm referencing the correct assembly, and I am. Does anyone have a clue? Was there some sort of mix-up on my installation?

I have IDE 2003 and 2005 on my machine, but I only open one IDE version at a time.

You need to add a reference to System.Configuration, then you can use:

Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(Application.ExecutablePath);

Console.WriteLine(config.AppSettings.Settings["YourSetting"].Value);

Hi,

I've done that, but to no avail. I think some registry settings got messed up because I just found out I can't compile the deployment project anymore.
