MVC5 reading Config values without using System.Web

Question

I keep reading that the new MVC avoids using System.Web by default as that used to add lots of extra stuff automatically.

Does that mean that in order to read the config file now in MVC5, one should use from System.Net instead?

Thanks...

It should be:

string key = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("AppKey");

OR

string key = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AppKey"];

I read somewhere in a Microsoft example where they imported

using System.Configuration;

and then use the standard

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MyKey"]

Just thought to post this in case somebody has the same question/problem
