I am using VS 2005 and Visual Basic. I added App.config file to store Custom information like Server name, User Id, and password. When I try to write code in

App.config contains below data,
<Appsettings>
<add key="servername" value="Myserver">
<add key="username" value="sa">
</Appsettings>

Class1.vb file,

Import system.configuration

Sub Getconnection
    dim x as string
    x=configurationmanager.appsetting("servername")
end sub

My VS 2005 not show me configurationmanager class, system.configuration.configmanager class not available.

What's the problem?
I want to know it urgent base. Please reply as soon as possible. As, I have to finish project in 2 days.

Thanks in Advance.

In Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft has made it easier to add and retrieve application settings. You should add new application settings by double clicking on "My Project" in the Solution Explorer. This should bring you to the Settings tab so you can add new application settings.

You can retrieve those settings in code by using the My namespace. For example, in my project I store the form size in an application setting called FormSize. To retreive this size in code I use: My.Settings.FormSize.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Thearon,

Can you suggest me any e-book which can be help me to learn new VS 2005 techniques. So, instead of using previous one I can make my application better. I am new to VS 2005. I know begginer level VB.Net 2003. Sample Application details also help me lots. As, I like to read only that part which I Don't know or new for me.

Professional VB 2005 should do the trick if you feel comfortable with the VB .Net language. You can get the e-book online at Amazon following this link: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-V...5835901&sr=1-1

to work with the configuration class should be references configuration class to your application
follow this stpes
my project ----> references -----> add... ------> system.configuration
in your declarations form write
Imports System.Configuration

after that you can showing config calss

Prit,

You can download the code for this book at the Wrox web site which has lots of code samples. Additionally, you can create a new project in VS2005 and then double click on My Project in the Solution Explorer window. Then click on the Settings tab and you will see where you can add, modify, and remove application settings. See my previous post in this thread for accessing those settings in code.
