SQL Connection Syntax Error

Hello everyone,

I have been using a guide that goes along with the Microsoft VB Virtual Labs for using ADO to access SQL. When I enter the this code:

Code:

---

mySqlConnection = New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("ConnectionString"))

---

I am using visual studio 2005 express, and it basically tells me that that syntax is old and this is the new syntax:

Code:

---

System.Configuration!system.configuration.Configurationmanager.AppSettings.Get()

---

in replace of the previous code. I have tried working with that, but then I get the message that system.configuration! cannot be using as an expression because it is a namespace, I have tried playing around with this code for quite awhile but cannot come up with anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
- Matt
