Application settings in visual studio 2005

Hopefully I will explain this clearly...

I have some old dlls written in vb.net (2003). I want to reference one
of these in a visual studio .net 2005 project.

So I can make the reference, but I'm having problems getting the old
dll, to see an application setting in the 2005 project. I don't even
know if this is possible.

the app setting in the vs.2003 dll looks something like:
<add key="project.WebService.WebServiceName"
value="http://blah.com/blah.aspx">

in vs.2003 projects it is possible for me to add an app.setting just
like that, and the dll will read it. It doesn't work in vs.net 2005
(or at least I can't get it to work)

Is it possible, or do I need to re-work my old dll to work with vs03?

Thanks in advance.

If you have the code, make a copy of the project and recompile for 2005. You
can then fix any errors and run it.
