ConnectionString manual and secure in C# 2.0

[Scott M.]

The connection string is stored in an xml file, but not with the .xml
extension. The file is not served to end users (even if they know the name
of the file and its path) by the web server.

Hello,
I am a newbie in C#2.0, as I have read, the application automatically
generates a configuration files to store the connectionstring in (.XML
file). So after compiling, everyone can see this sensitive infomation
(username, password). Pls tell me how to make it "hidden" from user and how
to manage the connectionstring promatically (set server name, databse name,
username)
Thanks in advance!
