Appconfig setting

Question

Hello Guys I am facing some problem with Appconfig setting I am using VS 2003 and write a config file and place it in BIN/Debug directory And according to the .Net architecture it should add the file when it starts for execution. the content of my prj.exe.config file is ================================================= ==================================================== and i am trying to read it using the following codes. System.Configuration.AppSettingsReader configurationAppSettings = new System.Configuration.AppSettingsReader(); UserID = ((string)(configurationAppSettings.GetValue(USERID typeof(string)))); UserPassword = ((string)(configurationAppSettings.GetValue(USERPASSWORD typeof(string)))); But the problem is when i run the program it gives an exception and says USERID cannot find. And deletes the config file. Can anyone pls tell me where is the problem . Thanks

You told your config file is prj.exe.config. It has to be the same than your executable that is prjJLCV.exe.config

You need not make a new instance of the reader.. jsut type System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get(USERID); Is your executable named prj.exe?
