Hi,

The following code works fine when used in a normal aspx page:

Dim objConn as New OleDbConnection (
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString") )

However, when I put this exact same line in a function in a .vb file, on
compilation into the /bin folder I get the following error:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Database.vb(172) : error BC30451: Name
'ConfigurationSettings' is not declared.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance,

JON

In the code behind the System.Configuration namespace is not included by =
default. So change your code into:
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString"=
)=20
or add a reference at the top of your page.

Hi,

Of course, I had forgotten to import System.Configuration! Now the .vb file
works fine.

Thanks for the help,

JON
