Parameters

key

The key for a value to be retrieved from the configuration file.

targetType

The type of the object that contains the property entry.

propertyName

The name of the property to which the expression is bound.

Returns

The object associated with the key in the <appSettings> section of the Web.config file.

Remarks

This method retrieves the appropriate value from the key/value pairs in the <appSettings> section of the Web.config file. The value is retrieved by getting the System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings property with the key as the index. The resulting string value is converted to a new type based on the targetType and propertyName parameters.
