Calling ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get raises the error,
"Configuration system failed to initialize".

I've searched, but found no information about this problem...

It is in the Configuration Manager class under System.Configuration.

Don't forget to reference System.configuration.dll

That trips up a lot of people.

I get the same error when calling ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get.
