Folks :-
One of developer in my team has pull an encrypted connection string from the app.config file. Using 1.1 code that he used to, he used....
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["connstr"].ToString();
And obviously the compiler gave him the following error.
Warning 1 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings' is obsolete: 'This method is obsolete, it has been replaced by ConfigurationManager.AppSettings'
So he tried to change his code by following ...
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["connstr"].ToString();
and he got a compiler error, saying the compiler can't find ConfigurationManager.
Answer:
Well here's the confusion.... The Original System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings class is found in the System.dll assembly. There is a new assembly with all the new
ConfigurationManager classes as System.Configuration.dll. Before using the ConfigurationManager class, you must first set a reference to the new System.Configuration.dll.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Smith
