I am using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess Nuget Package Version 12.1.022 in my C# (.NET 4.0) project. The package automatically creates entries in the app.config file. How can I read the datasource string from this file to be able to connect to the data base?
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("dataSource");
is not working for me

Connecting Remotely with the SQL Command Line To initiate a remote connection from the SQL Command Line using the Oracle Database XE: On the remote computer, start a terminal session (Linux) or open a command window (Windows.) If prompted for host credentials, log in to the remote computer.
Typically, you would refer to the alias in a standard connection string:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyConnection" connectionString="Data Source=MyDataSource;User Id=scott;Password=tiger;"/>
</connectionStrings>
Then you would use the standard method for retrieving the string:
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnection"].ConnectionString;
Also keep in mind that the alias in the data source section is optional. You can embed the descriptor directly in the connection string:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=100.100.100.100)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=myservice.com)));User Id=scott;Password=tiger;"/>
</connectionStrings>
You can also refer to aliases in a tnsnames.ora file. By default the driver looks for a tnsnames.ora in the exe folder, a directory specified in a TNS_ADMIN environment variable, or the TNS_ADMIN config variable:
