I have tried multiple methods of encrypting the connection string. Everyone
has made it sound easy.
I have encrypted the connection string in the app.config file, code behind,
etc.
Basically try this test.
Create a new app and just add a connection string. Add whatever encryption
that you would like to use. Build the app. Go to the app's bin directory and
rename the exe to .txt. So it will now be app.txt. Open up in notepad, go
to the bottom of the file. You will see your connection string in text all
nice an pretty.
Not secure. Same thing works in vb6.
