.NET Framework Settings Reading AppSettings from ConfigurationManager in .NET 2.0 and later
Example
The ConfigurationManager class supports the AppSettings property, which allows you to continue reading settings from the appSettings section of a configuration file the same way as .NET 1.x supported.
app.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="keyName" value="anything, as a string"/>
<add key="keyNames" value="123"/>
<add key="keyNames" value="234"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
Program.cs
using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string keyValue = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["keyName"];
Debug.Assert("anything, as a string".Equals(keyValue));
var twoKeys = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["keyNames"];
Debug.Assert("234".Equals(twoKeys));
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
