ConfigurationManager problems

I keep getting the following error message no matter what I try
The name 'ConfigurationManager' does not exist in the current context

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Text;
using System.Configuration;
//using System.Configuration.Assemblies;
 
namespace C9_1AllAppSettings490
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            NameValueCollection AllAppSettings = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings; 
            Int32 Counter = 0;
            IEnumerator SettingsEnumerator = AllAppSettings.Keys.GetEnumerator(); 
            while (SettingsEnumerator.MoveNext())
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Item: {0}   Value: {1}", AllAppSettings.Keys[Counter], AllAppSettings[Counter]);
            } 
 
        }
    }
}

Add reference to assembly System.Configuration.

System.Configuration.dll refrence is missing.

jinal,
"using System.Configuration;" is plainly visible in the code above. /the system will not accept
using System.Configuration.dll
What are you refering to ??;

Namespaces can span across assemblies - although you can include this namespace without any errors the class ConfigurationManager / some of its members (possible due to partial classes) are not available until you reference the assembly System.Configuration.dll.

As stated by Jinal you need to add a reference to System.Configuration.dll and then the System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager will become available.

Adding and assembly reference and using a namespace are two different things.

The code you see is all the code there is.

When I add using System.Configuration.dll.I get and error.
I don't understand.
