ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings - this method is obsolete error

I am trying to set the row limit for my gridview webpart on sharepoint site in the appsettings of the web.config file.

<appSettings>
<add key ="RowLimit" value="6"/>
<add key="FeedCacheTime" value="300" />
<add key="FeedPageUrl" value="/_layouts/feed.aspx?" />
<add key="FeedXsl1" value="/Style Library/Xsl Style Sheets/Rss.xsl" />
<add key="ReportViewerMessages" value="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Analytics.UI.ReportViewerMessages, Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" />

and then in my code file i am using the below statement

string x = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["RowLimit"];

this line is giving an error stating ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings "This method is obsolete",

What is that i am doing wrong? Please let me know.

The replacement is System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.

Example:

using System.Configuration;
...
string x = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["RowLimit"];

You should be using the ConfigurationManager class instead. ConfigurationSettings was deprecated in .NET 2.0. Use it the same way as you would use ConfigurationSettings, but be aware that you will have to add a reference to System.Configuration, if you don't have it already.
