This post tells the main differences between Add References and Imports
In VB.Net (for example), we need add : System.configuration assembly to References folder so we can get the ConnectionStrings value from app.config. Below is showing where the System.configuration located.


The code will look like this: To get sConn value, you need type fully qualifited names which is quite long, however, if you add "Imports System.Configuration" at the top of the code, it will be better Note: If we don't add References, and only use: Imports in the code, it won't work.
