Reading a value from Settings.settings

[BlackburnKL]

I have a C# application that needs to call an external application. When I hard code the path to the external application, it works fine. However, I would like the path to the external application to come from a settings file instead.

I have stored the path as a string in a Settings.settings file. But, for all of the reading that I have done on the subject, I just can't seem to find code that will let me retrieve it from the file.

I know this has to be quite simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It depends on what version of the framework you are using...

for 2.0 or greater..

string value = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["key"];

for 1.0 or 1.1...

string value = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["key"];

Hope this helps
