Hi, I have right clicked my project in VS2008 and added a DB Connection
application setting.

How do I access these settings from my code?

I know this must be pretty simple, but I cannot see how to do it.

Hi Phil,

If you added an appSetting called DBConnection

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

If you added a connectionString called DBConnection

string value =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBConnection"].ConnectionString;

If you added a Setting called DBConnection

string value = Properties.Settings.Default.DBConnection;

or

string value =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyNameSpace.Properties.Settings.DBConnection"].ConnectionString
