3.5 Configuration Manager

[John Straumann]

Hello all:

Most of my .NET experience is in Web sites, so I am a relative newb when it
comes to Windows apps. I am trying to develop an Outlook plugin, and I need
to store some configuration settings like can be done in Web.Config. I did
some digging into the app.config file and am trying to use the
ConfigurationManager as shown here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.configurationmanager.aspx

and here:

http://geekswithblogs.net/akraus1/articles/64871.aspx

however for some reason I do not seem to be able to access the
ConfigurationManager class. I added using System.Configuration to the code
file, but ConfigurationManager does not seem to be there.

Can anyone make a suggestion as to what I am doing wrong and/or offer
another method for storing some settings?

Thanks in advance.

John.

Add your using statement (Imports in VB) to the top of the file. Either
that or type in ConfigurationManager and then control + period (.) and
choose to add the using/Imports statement.

BTW, you should use the ConfigurationManager in ASP.NET now, as well. The
older style of pulling from the config is deprecated.

Peace and Grace,
Greg
