Cannot Solve “Configuration Does not Exist…” Error

I’m just trying to apply Option Pattern and I coded that in ConfigureServices:

services.Configure<AppSettings>(Configuration.GetSection("AppSettings"));

However VS gives the error “The name Configuration does not exist in the current context.”

I added almost all the namespaces such as using System.Configuration and using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. Closed the VS and opened it again. Delete the code and coded again but still I get the same error and Configuration is always highlighted with red.

Do you know what’s going on here?

Method 1

Here Configuration is a property. You need to add

private readonly IConfiguration Configuration { get; set;}

public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
    Configuration = configuration;
}
