app.config problem in reading multiple values per key, very stuck no idea

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

hello, i have a app.config file like so


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="rdbUser1Cpu1" value="Cpu1,test"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>

I understand it is possible to have mutliple values per key that when
you use getvalues is suppoded to return a String[] but it dont seem to
work

Eg

String[] temp;

temp = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.GetValues("rdbUser1Cpu1");



this compiles and runs fine with no errors except

it does not return a string array with 2 elements houseing each
seperate value

(What i expected was temp[0] =" Cpu1" and temp[1] = "test" )

instead it returns a single element array of "Cpu1,test1" in the first
index.

temp[0] = "Cpu1,test"
temp[1] = out of bounds index

Am i misunderstanding how it should work, or am i doing this wrong.

thanks for any help
