In the app.config, How can I know if it contains a specific key?

---

var specificValue = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["specificKey"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(specificValue))
{
    // Use the value
}

but if you only want to check the presence you could also:

if (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.AllKeys.Contains("specificKey"))
{
    // the config file contains the specific key    
}

---

Try this:

if(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["yourkey"] != null)
{
   // that key exists..... do something with it
}
