In .NET 2.0 accessing the values stored in web.config through System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings doesn't seem to work anymore

In .NET 2.0 System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings has been changed to System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings. Also you need to add a reference to System.Configuration.dll.
Here's an example of accessing the SomeString value from the web.config file, in .NET 2.0:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SomeString"];

when I use it, iT says
The type or namespace name 'ConfigurationManager' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Configuration' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

do you know why?

you have to add a reference to System.Configuration
