problem with Properties.Settings.Default to access settings in C# windows application
hi ,
i have C# windows app on Visual studio 2005 team system
I have a connection string stored as application setting in Settings.settings file and i am trying to access it
using Properties.Settings.Default but
Properties keyword itself is not being recognized and i am getting a debug error
Error :: The type or namespace name 'Properties' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Any help is appreciated

1. Verify the namespace in Settings.cs. Say for example, if it is MyProject.Utilities, import this namespace where you are using. For example, if you are trying to get connectionstring in DataAccess.cs, then use "using MyProject.Utilities" in the top
2. You can get the connectionstring by the following code
Settings.Default.
note: you don't have to say Properties.Settings.Default
does this help? I had the same problem before but once I resolved namespaces conflict, everything started working. good luck
