I need to set some persisting configuration info for the console app I'm writing with VB .Net Core (.Net 5.0).

Acc. to the documentation, System.Configuration should do the trick but Visual Studio goes: Imports statement unnecessary, and the My namespace only has InternalXmlHelper. My.Settings is simply non-existent.

I've tried to read the documentation and yesterday searched all over for anyone with similar issues but have found nothing so far.

Some help would be appreciated. :')

Edit: I've also checked to see if adding System.Configuration.dll as a reference is possible, and it is also unavailable.

Edit Conclusive: Found out that .Net Core does not support System.Configuration. Nevermind then. Hope I can find an alternative.

  • I've not done it in VB but you ought to look into using an appsettings.json file in .NET Core. That's probably read-only though, so probably look at using your own XML or JSON file(s). – jmcilhinney Aug 21 '21 at 03:07
