            get { return false; } 
        } 


        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) 
        {

        } 
    }

The ConfigurationManager class can be used from anywhere. You have to add reference to System.Configuration.dll, if you have not already did it.

To read a config value

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) 
        { 
             var cfgValue = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["cfgKey"];
        }
