ConfigurationSettings can't be seen from a code behind class?

[Andrew Fisher]

Hi all,

I have set up some config options in the web.config file and have
successfully used them in my test pages. When I came to abstract my
code from the design - by using code behind files, all of a sudden I am
told I can't use the ConfigurationSettings object because it isn't
referenced as a namespace.

I understand what the compiler is telling me is the problem but I'm not
sure what namespaces I need to include to make this work?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Yoiu need to import the
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings class.

Add

Imports System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings

at the top of your codebehind file.

It is the System.Configuration namespace.
