System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager not available?

In a VS2005 C# project I have added a reference to System.configuration. In the object browser, I can see the System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager. In Intellisense System.Configuration only has the old ConfigurationSettings, and not ConfigurationManager.

My code System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MySetting"]

is highlighted as a syntax error and does not compile.

In a different project, the exact same setup works just fine... any clues as to what is going on?

Solution

  • urgh - PICNIC error. Added ref to the wrong project in the solution...
