<appSettings> would go directly under <configuration>
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8VS.71%29.aspx

Code: xml
<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="Application Name" value="MyApplication" />
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

For connection strings you can use the
Quote:
<connectionStrings>
section instead of appsettings. It will be like
Quote:
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="server=.;database=mydatabasename ;uid=userid;pwd=password; " providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
