When I try to write ConfigurationManager.Appsettings in C# windows application it is not recogonizing it as a member of system.configuration namespace what could be the problem?

The intellisense is not recogonising the Configuration.Appsettings statement itself.

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings is actually a property, so you need to use square brackets.

here's what you need to do:

C#

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"]);

+5 If the Class Name is changed to ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings, your answer is a valid solution to the OP's problem. fyi: ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings is an instance of the NameValueCollection Class which "Represents a collection of associated String keys and String values that can be accessed either with the key or with the index."

Hi Leo,
Please try to add System.Configuration.dll in the reference folder.
