ConfigurationManager class not available

Question

I am not able to get the connectionString from App.Config file..

Am I missing something?

after creating the class, I moved the class into some folder..Is that the issue? what is the solution without moving the class?

Solution 1

Add a reference to System.Configuration.dll.

Menu Bar -> Project -> Add Reference... -> .NET (Tab) -> System.Configuration -> OK

Solution 2

Add references to your website as System.Web.Configuration and System.Configuration and it will work.

as a desktop application, System.Web.Configuration should not be referenced.
