VB.NET to C#.NET, I'm looking for a way to replace LogFileNamePrefix or make it work

Here is the VB.NET code:

VB

[Global.System.Configuration.ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute(),  _
 Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute(),  _
 Global.System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("FinDBLogRec_")]

Public ReadOnly Property LogFileNamePrefix() As String
    Get
        Return CType(Me("LogFileNamePrefix"),String)
    End Get
End Property

Is there a simular function in C#? My converter created the following results but the compiler doesn't like Convert or this. Surely there are better ways to get this info in C#.

C#

[System.Configuration.ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute(),
System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute(),
System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("FinDBLogRec_")]
public string LogFileNamePrefix 
{
    get { return Convert.ToString(this("LogFileNamePrefix")); }
}

Why don't you just just

C#

get { return MyApp.Settings.LogNamePrefix; }

This sounds like a great idea, and being new to C# I see a lot of "MyApp.Settings...." statements. The problem I'm dealing with is it can't find "Settings". Where can I read about the importance and/or purpose for the thing called Setting and where does it go in the program?
thanks...

Solution 1

I guess you'd need this["string"] instead of this("string") in C#. Doing that may fix both errors, provided you have implemented the indexer.

Thanks we are half way there. It fixed the this bot ont Convert..

What's the exact error you get for the Convert call? You may need to prefix the namespace (System).

MacIntyre 16-Feb-11 14:34pm

I included System and that cleared up the Convert..
Thanks to all..
