There's a whole new thing about ApplicationSettings and ConfigurationSettings has been (gratuitously) replaced by ConfigurationManager.
All I want is to replace the appSettings I used to use with something simple. I seem to have a proliferation of applicationSettings files and no clear roadmap!

I believe that ConfigurationSettings is the way that you want to go, as I believe it is meant to be the next step in the configuration story.
Hope this helps.

I had the impression that ConfigurationSettings was deprecated and ConfigurationManager was the new boy on the block.
However, I don't understand how it works, nor how the other sytel of configuration settings works, nor what the syntaxes are for the files. And I cannot find a coherent source of information - the beta docs are totally inadaquate!
Have you any more details?

You're right, ConfigurationManager is the new configuration story. It should just be a drop in replacement for ConfigurationSettings though, you can use ConfigurationManager.AppSettings the same way you used to use ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.
