    @HuwReddick thanks for the reply. Looks like that's for v8. When I attempted to apply that code to my SurfaceController in v9 IGlobalSettings doesn't exist.

    I tried injecting IConfiguration like this:

    public ContactFormController(
            IUmbracoContextAccessor umbracoContextAccessor,
            IUmbracoDatabaseFactory databaseFactory,
            ServiceContext services,
            AppCaches appCaches,
            IProfilingLogger profilingLogger,
            IPublishedUrlProvider publishedUrlProvider,
            IConfiguration configuration)
            : base(umbracoContextAccessor, databaseFactory, services, appCaches, profilingLogger, publishedUrlProvider, configuration)
        {  }

    But I get this error:

    'SurfaceController' does not contain a constructor that takes 7 arguments

    Hi!

    Just take an IConfiguration in your constructor, and don't pass it along to the base constructor:

        public ContactFormController(
                IConfiguration configuration,
                IUmbracoContextAccessor umbracoContextAccessor,
                ...) : base(umbracoContextAccessor, databaseFactory, services, appCaches, profilingLogger, publishedUrlProvider)
{
    this._configuration = configuration;
}

    As Johan stated, don't pass it to the base constructor, however I believe the correct DI would be something like

    IOptions<GlobalSettings> globalSettings

    GlobalSettings would be the section you want from appsettings.jsom

      "Umbraco": {
    "CMS": {
      "Content": {
        "MacroErrors": "Throw"
      },
      "Global": {
        "Smtp": {
          "From": "your@email.here",
          "Host": "localhost",
          "Port": 25
        }
      },
      "Hosting": {
        "Debug": true
      },
      "RuntimeMinification": {
        "useInMemoryCache": true,
        "cacheBuster": "Timestamp"
      }
    }
  }

    @HuwReddick thank you for this! I actually ended up using a combination of yours and @JohanRunsten solution. Thank you both for your help!!

    For anyone looking this helped with implementing the globalsettings: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Configuration/

    That is a clean and strongly typed way of accessing a certain section. If you're using IConfiguration you can access the sections by configuration["Umbraco:CMS:Global"] but then you are dealing with string values.
