Krishna,

You have to create link to the class System.Configuration.AppSettingsReader;

so it would be:

using System.Configuration;

AppSettingsReader MyConfigFile = new AppSettingsReader();
string ConnectionString = MyConfigFile("ConnectionString");

this should return the value of the node ConnectionString which is defined in your app.config;

Apologies if it's slightly incorrect, i'm just starting my self, and unfortunately my Visual Studio has gone fubar so I am currently reinstalling it.

Have a look around, there will be loads of stuff in msdn.
