How to retrieve appsetings in WinForm Application?

[ad]

I have define some appsetings in ap.config like:

<configuratio n>
<appSettings>
<add key="MailBody" value="Test Mail body"/>
</appSettings>

.....

I use
txtSubject.Text =
ConfigurationMa nager.AppSettin gs["MailSubjec t"].ToString();

But it can't compile.

How can I retrieve appsetings in WinForm applicaiton

Hi,

you should use

System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ap pSettings["MailBody"];

You should better read the value into a string first
and after you check that it isn't null set it where
you need it.

Cheers

It should be ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs, not
ConfigurationMa nager.AppSettin gs.

Hello ad,

I have define some appsetings in ap.config like:
<configuratio n> <appSettings> <add key="MailBody"
value="Test Mail body"/> </appSettings> </configuration>
I use: txtSubject.Text =
ConfigurationMa nager.AppSettin gs["MailSubjec t"].ToString();
But it can't compile.

Thats ok, if you use .NET Framework 2.0, so

// insert reference to system.configur ation.dll [2.0]
// using System.Configur ation.
string s = ConfigurationMa nager.AppSettin gs["MailBody"];
ciao Frank

Ah. It would have helped if you'd said that to start with...

ConfigurationMa nager should be fine then. Here's a sample program that
works:

using System;
using System.Configur ation;

public class Test
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLi ne (ConfigurationM anager.AppSetti ngs["Foo"]);
}
}

Test.exe.config :
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuratio n>
<appSettings>
<add key="Foo" value="Bar" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.
