Hello all,

    Can't seem to get 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings' to work. What I've done thus far, is just
create a windows app called 'WindowsApplication2'. To this app I used 'Add new Item' and added 'Application configuration
file' and named it 'WindowsApplication2.exe.config'. I then rebuilt the solution. After rebuilding I went to the folder where
my project is and copiled the .config file into the.bin\debug and tried run to cursor to see if I could read the .config
file. Nope. Get an error.

        using System.Configuration;

                static void Main()
                {
                        string test1 = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings
                                ["Key1"].ToString();

                        MessageBox.Show(test1);

                        Application.Run(new Form1());
                }

The .config looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><configuration><appSettings><add key="Key1" value="One" /><add key="Key2" value="Two" /><add key="Key3" value="Three" /></appSettings></configuration>

     When I run to "string test1.." and try to step over I get a:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in WindowsApplication2.exe
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   Help, what am I missing, doing wrong,etc.?

  Any help appreciated

  TIA,

 Ray K.
