The old one may be obsolete, but it still works I think (at least I haven't changed any of my code, and I'm not having any problem accessing my config).

But if you want to use the new one, then you need to add System.Configuration as a new reference in your project. Once that's done, you won't get those compiler errors and it will all show up in Intellisense for you.
