title: ConfigurationManager.AppSettings count 0
body: <p>C# -  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings count is 0. And ideas? Here is the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  var appSettings = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;
  
                      if (appSettings.Count == 0)
                      {
                          Console.WriteLine("AppSettings is empty.");
                      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Running in debug. VS copies the app.config to the debug directory and names it 
  CBCuedERI.exe.config.  Here is part of the config file</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;applicationSettings&gt;
      &lt;CBCuedERI.Properties.Settings&gt;
          &lt;setting name="test" serializeAs="String"&gt;
              &lt;value&gt;one&lt;/value&gt;
          &lt;/setting&gt;
      &lt;/CBCuedERI.Properties.Settings&gt;
  &lt;/applicationSettings&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried this and it returns NULL</p>
  
  <pre><code>  string sss = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get ( "test") ;
  </code></pre>
