[RESOLVED] (2003) App.Config Driving me mad....

This should be easy but it's driving me nuts, I can't read from the app.config file. I've created a very basic test project and I keep getting the error Required parameter 'Value' not found.

It's there I can see it ! In the app.config file, someone put me out of my misery :)

My app.config

vb Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
    <add key="Test" Value="Hello" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

My little program to read it.

vb Code:

Dim ConfigReader As ConfigurationSettings
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Try
            Label1.Text = ConfigReader.AppSettings.Get("Test")
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try
 
    End Sub

In the config file, try spelling Value with a lower-case 'v'. :)


i.e.

Code:

---

<add key="Test" value="Hello" />

---

Excellent, I couldn't see and it was staring me in the face !

Cheers Andy :)
