This worked, thanks. But I still can't access the setting from code. The examples do this: this.sqlConnection1.ConnectionString = ((string)(configurationAppSettings.GetValue("sqlConnection1.ConnectionString", typeof(string)))); But this gives a compile error on "configurationAppSettings". Where does this thing come from? Thanks, John You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
