Get dynamic property from Settings

Question

I\'ve got a few properties stored in my AppConfig and now I want to access them dynamically (e.g. in a loop or function).

Accessing the values using MySettings.NAME_

Answer 1

Have you tried using the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings property? You should be able to get your setting via the following code:

String propertyValue = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["NAME_OF_THAT_THING"];

The MSDN article for ConfigurationManager.AppSettings also includes an example for looping through all of the entries in AppSettings by index, rather than name.
