I want to store database credentials in either the registry or a file.

What is the easiest way to encrypt this information?
 
Hi,

The easiest way is probably to use the
System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider.

Hi,

The best way of storing database password is to encrypt them and then
storing them in your config files, rather storing them in a registry or a
file. There are numbers of encryption technuques avaiable. Encrypt them and
store in config file.
 
Do a little reaseach on the HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile method. The
name pretty much says it all. Even if you're not using FormsAuthentication,
you can still call this method by referencing its parental DLLs.
