Why do I get a NULL reference exception?

rkb

var _athenaProviderConnectionString =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["CPPAthenaProviderConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
_athenaProviderConnectionString.Dump();

When I try to run this as a set of statements or wrapped in a program I get a blue squiggly line under var with a message that a null reference exception was thrown. Ideas on what I am doing wrong?
