It's not only necessary to use the namespace System.Configuration. You have also to add the reference to the assembly System.Configuration.dll , by

Right-click on the References / Dependencies
Choose Add Reference
Find and add System.Configuration. In Assembly

using System.Configuration;

var efConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyWebConfigEfConnection"].ConnectionString;
