Re: File manipulation

A couple of options Nina (no snippets, but ideas):
1) Option Number 1, make a FileStream, and wrap a CryptoStream around it.
CryptoStream takes a transformation when you make it, so that enables you to
specify some way to cryptography the bits

2) a little less heavy weight, but no managed solution (as yet) is to go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...-us/fileio/base
/encryptfile.asp to learn about simple file encryption (and then, follow any
links to decryption). This will require a PInvoke call, but they're never
too bad to setup....
