AppSettingsReader.GetValue(String, Type) Method

public:
 System::Object ^ GetValue(System::String ^ key, Type ^ type);

public object GetValue(string key, Type type);

member this.GetValue : string * Type -> obj

Public Function GetValue (key As String, type As Type) As Object

The value of the specified key.

The following example shows how to use the GetValue method to retrieve the value for each key in the <appSettings> section of the configuration file.

static void DisplayAppSettings()
{
    try
    {
        var reader = new AppSettingsReader();

        NameValueCollection appSettings = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;

        for (int i = 0; i < appSettings.Count; i++)
        {
            string key = appSettings.GetKey(i);
            string value = (string)reader.GetValue(key, typeof(string));
            Console.WriteLine("Key : {0} Value: {1}", key, value);
        }
    }
    catch (ConfigurationErrorsException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("[DisplayAppSettings: {0}]", e.ToString());
    }
}

Private Shared Sub DisplayAppSettings()

    Try
        Dim reader As New AppSettingsReader()

        Dim appSettings As NameValueCollection = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings

        For i As Integer = 0 To appSettings.Count - 1
            Dim key As String = appSettings.GetKey(i)
            Dim value As String = reader.GetValue(key, GetType(String))
            Console.WriteLine("Key : {0} Value: {1}", key, value)
        Next i

    Catch e As ConfigurationErrorsException
        Console.WriteLine("[DisplayAppSettings: {0}]", e.ToString())
    End Try

End Sub
