Simplest way to have a configuration file in a Windows Forms C# application

Question

You want to use an App.Config.

When you add a new item to a project there is something called Applications Configuration file. Add that.

Then you add keys in the configuration/appsettings section

Like:

<configuration>
 <appSettings>
  <add key="MyKey" value="false"/>

Access the members by doing

System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["MyKey"];

This works in .NET 2 and above.
