I have a program that creates a text file and uploads it to a client's server using a java program provided by the client. I set up variables in the app.config file as follows:

<appSettings>
...

    <add key = "javaExecString" value = "C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jre1.6.0\bin\java.exe"/>
    <add key = "javaParamString" value = "-classpath .;C:\deve\ESKDataPro\JavaWebRequest;C:\deve\ESKDataPro\JavaWebRequest\log4j-1.2.7.jar Trigger "/>
    <add key = "javaServerString" value = "test"/>

Here's the code that retrieves those variables:

 string executableString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("javaExecString"); //"C:\\PROGRA~1\\Java\\jre1.6.0\\bin\\java.exe";
string parametersString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("javaParamString"); //"-classpath .;C:\\deve\\ESKDataPro\\JavaWebRequest;C:\\deve\\ESKDataPro\\JavaWebRequest\\log4j-1.2.7.jar Trigger ";
string serverString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("javaServerString"); //"test";

When I compile, I get the error: Warning 1 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings' is obsolete: 'This method is obsolete, it has been replaced by System.Configuration!System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings'


When I try to change the code to use the Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings option, ConfigurationManager does not show up in the list of available methods. It's just an error but I'd like to know how to do this the "recommended" way.

Has anyone run across this?

Thanks.
