AppSettingsRead er.. don't work ;-(

[Lloyd Dupont]

for this config file:
//--------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<appSettings>
<add key="Lion's Port"
value="1971"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
//--------

the following call work:
string sPort = ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs.Get("Lion's Port");

but this one fail:
object port = new AppSettingsRead er().GetValue(" Lion's Port", typeof(int));

with the error: the key 'Lion's Port' doesn't exist in the appSettings
section

what's wrong ?

Hi Lloyd,
I presume that the problem is with the key name "Lion's Port". Just
check with some other string which doesnt have any " ' " in the key name.
The code looks perfect.

Lloyd,
I tried to use this and it absolutely works fine .....
object port = new AppSettingsRead er().GetValue(" Lion's Port",
typeof(int));

imageDescriptio n.Text = port.ToString() ;

Cheers ..
Pawan.
