HI, I have one asp.net aplication, and I want to read information since the web.config becouse I have two values with keys, and I need the values. I have the next code:

Dim url, ruta1_general As String
		Dim rootWebConfig1 As System.Configuration.Configuration
		rootWebConfig1 = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Nothing)
		If (0 < rootWebConfig1.AppSettings.Settings.Count) Then
			Dim customSetting As System.Configuration.KeyValueConfigurationElement
			customSetting = rootWebConfig1.AppSettings.Settings("pablo")
			If Not (Nothing = customSetting.Value) Then
				url = customSetting.Value()
			End If
			customSetting = rootWebConfig1.AppSettings.Settings("rutageneral")
			If Not (Nothing = customSetting.Value) Then
				ruta1_general = customSetting.Value()
			End If
		End If

Here is the web.config:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>

  
  <appSettings>
	<add key="pablo" value="value1" />
	<add key="rutageneral" value="value2" />
  </appSettings>
  
  <connectionStrings/>
  
	<system.web>
.
.
.

THe problem is the next, when I start the program, the application doesn't enter in the first IF of my code:

If (0 < rootWebConfig1.AppSettings.Settings.Count) Then

I don't Know what is happening, is somebody has an idea would be great! Thank you!

You need to provide the root path to where the web.config is located, currently you have it set to Nothing.

rootWebConfig1 = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Nothing)

Lets say that your web application is called "MyWebApp", then you would access the web.config like so:

rootWebConfig1 = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/MyWebApp")
