application configuration file

[Marivic]

Hi all,

Can anybody share me how to define the connection string in the config file. I tried but I keep on getting this error:

The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.

I made use of the web.config in asp.net successfully but I couldn't get this to work in windows forms.

Please help.

Here is my app.config file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="ConnectionString" value="initial catalog=SP;data source=******;user id=sa;password=*******" />
<add key="Version" value="1.21" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

I then access it in my variables class - make sue you import System.Configuration

Private Shared m_sConnStr As String = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")
Private Shared m_sVersion As String = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("Version")

Imports System.Configuration
Public Class cVariables
Public Shared ReadOnly Property ConnStr() As String
Get
Return m_sConnStr
End Get
End Property

Public Shared ReadOnly Property Version() As String
Get
Return m_sVersion
End Get
End Property

End class
