ConfigurationManager in VS2008

Hi,

This code in VS2005 is running fine..

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. using System.Configuration
  2. ....
  3.  
  4. public static string ConnectionString 
  5. {
  6.     get {  return ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["RemoteSqlConn"].ConnectionString; }
  7. }
However, when using VS2008, I can't get the ConfigurationManager reference from System.Configuration.

Any help is greatly appreciated..

Found the answer.... I just need to add a reference in the project references to System.Configuration (the assembly, not the namespace). [sigh]
