cannot declare instance members in a static class in C#
<p>I have a Public Static Class and I am trying to access appsettings from my app.config file in C# and I get the above error</p>

<pre><code>public static class employee
{
NameValueCollection appSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;    

}
</code></pre>

<p>How do I get this to work?
PS: I pasted just a few lines of code.</p>

<p>thanks</p>
