That depends on which version of .NET you use. 1.1 and 2.0 are a little different (2.0 deprecated the class).

Learning to read the documentation and use it effectively isn't the easiest thing in the world, but give it a shot.

If you still can't get it, post whether you're using web forms or windows forms, if it's in app.config or web.config, and if you use 1.1 or 2.0.

For 2.0, I believe the ConfigurationManager class covers both windows forms and web forms.

yap.
you are right. first i used configurationManager. it dint not accept and shown error.
after i referenced the system.configuration class from the addreference, it worked.

Thanks
