Hi all,

I am trying to store our DB password in an App.Config file (encrypted of
course) but am not sure if I am following a best practice or standard
approach. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have done some
searching on MSDN but everything seems geared at ASP.Net user security.

Thanks
 
A standard approach for storing secrets is to put them in registry keys
rather than in app.config
