I want to use App.config for storing some setting.I tried to use the next code for getting a parameter from a config file.
private string GetSettingValue(string paramName){ return String.Format(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[paramName]);}
I also added System.Configuration
for it (I used a separate class), and in App.config file I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><configuration><startup> <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" /></startup><appSettings><add key ="key1" value ="Sample" /></appSettings></configuration>
But I got an error while trying to use ConfigurationManager
- ConfigurationManager can't exist in such context
, but I already added System.Configuration
. Or did I miss something?
EDIT:
class with config (full view)
using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Linq;using System.Text;using System.Threading.Tasks;using System.Configuration;namespace browser{ class ConfigFile { private string GetSettingValue(string paramName) { return String.Format(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[paramName]); } }}
EDIT2
Add how it looks
This means the problem is not during using ConfigurationManger
but before - the program "says" that it "doesn't know such element" as I understand the error - the "Element ConfigurationManager" doesn't exist in such context"
