ConfigurationManager unrecognized

[Dean Slindee]

With the following three statements in an ApplicationEvents.vb file, I get a
message saying "Name 'ConfigurationManager' is not declared." on the third
statement.
Imports System.Configuration

Imports System.Collections.Specialized

Dim connections As Collections.Specialized.StringCollection =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings

Using VS2005. Puzzled, because when I declare "Imports
System.Configuration", the next intellisense choice is
".ConfigurationSettings" which seems to be deprecated according to MSDN help
in favor or ConfigurationManager, which errs.

Thanks in advance.

You need to add a reference to System.Configuration.dll.
