I can use the following on MS:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings(……..)

This requires a reference to System.Configuration.

I’m trying to do the same on mono 2.0 (using the VMWARE image) but cant figure out what reference I need to give mcs to get it to compile.

I’ve tried “-r:System.Configuration.dll” and get the mcs error “cannot find metadata file ‘System.Configuration.dll” whereas if I use  “-r:System.Configuration.Install.dll” (having found the dlls in /user/lib/mono/2.0/) I get the mcs error “Error CS0234 the type or namespace ‘ConfigurationManager’ does not exist in the namespace ‘System.Configuration’ are you missing an assembly reference?

I can use the legacy mode ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings but this then means I have 2 variants of code (one for Windows, one for Linux)

Any help appreciated!
