I have included the following statement in my Visual C# Console Application (Visual Studio 2005 .NET 2.0 Framework)

using System.Configuration;

and I am using the following statement in my application:

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SomeStringOverHere"];

I try to build the application and I get the error: The name 'ConfigurationManager' does not exist in the current context.

Any help please?
