This site contains sample code that does not compile for me. The line of
code is:

' Get the current configuration file.
        Dim config As _
        System.Configuration.Configuration = _
        ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration( _
        ConfigurationUserLevel.None)

When I place this in my VB.Form code, I get the following error:

System.Configuration.Configuration is not defined. Surely I am missing
something simple.

I'm assuming you have created an app.config file?

IT may be something simple but I've not figured it out either...any
luck?
