Message: [QUOTE="PurpleServerMonkey, post: 8533931"] At the moment I'm writing a network aware application in C# .Net 2.0 and I'd like to ask the group for advice on how I should store the username and password for the connection. The application is a WinForms based application for Windows XP systems that works like a POP mail client in that the client software has to store a username and password for later use. Obviously I don't want to store that information inside the application or in plaintext anywhere else on the system. So what's the best way to handle this? I'm fairly new to C# but my first guess would be to use the new built-in DPAPI support in the .Net 2.0 framework however I haven't been able to find many examples of using these calls. Any thoughts or links to examples would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
