-## Remarks
- The `appSettings` configuration section provides for key/value pairs of `string` values for an application. Rather than accessing these values by using an instance of an <xref:System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection> object, you should use the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings> property of the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager> class or the <xref:System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings> property of the <xref:System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager> class.
-
-
-
-## Examples
- The following example shows how to use the <xref:System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection> class in a console application. It reads and writes the key/value pairs that are contained by the `appSettings` section. It also shows how to access the <xref:System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection.File> property of the <xref:System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection> class.

- The .NET Framework contains a single default settings provider, <xref:System.Configuration.LocalFileSettingsProvider>, which stores configuration data to the local file system in files with the extension `.config`.
