    I'm trying to use an XML entity in the App.config for a configuration value that appears in multiple appSettings.

    I see the entity shows correctly in the VS 2008 xml editor, but when ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SQLConnectionString"] returns, I see the literal text and not the resolved text "server=server\&SQLInstanceName;;database=Search;Integrated Security=SSPI;Max Pool Size=75; Min Pool Size=5".

    Is this a bug in VS 2008 ConfigurationManager? Or is there a trick to make this work?
