Rename your App1.config to App.config

your problem will be resolved.

It's working fine at my end. If it is not working then try that

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UserName"].ToString();

Hi,

add key in your App.Config like that

    
     

you can access these values by using

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("UserName").ToString()

Hope it will help!
