ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings Obsolete

I am getting a warning when using this:

ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ArbitraryName").ToString()

The warning:

Public Shared ReadOnly Property AppSettings As System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection' is obsolete: 'This method is obsolete, it has been replaced by System.Configuration!System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings'.

I have tried using ..

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ArbitraryName"].ToString(); 

*The issue with this  is that it cannot be casted as a string.*

Note: My System.Configuration is pointing to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Configuration.dll

I had similar issue in aspx file. Error message: Too many arguments to 'Public Shared Overloads ReadOnly Property AppSettings As NameValueCollection. Fix: Change

<a href='<%ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("URL") %>'></a>

To

<a href='<%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("URL") %>'></a>

This should work..

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ArbitraryName")
