How to handle encryption decription of connection string ?

[gatewaytl]

Hi Friends,

I have created two functions that encrypt and decrypt the connection string in web.config. But whenever I want to use connection string. I have to always decrypt web.config and then again encrypt it back. Does there any other way which i can use.

I'm using section.SectionInformation.ProtectSection(" <encryption configuration provider> ") and section.SectionInformation.UnprotectSection()

Next time you might want to include the framework, version and actual code commenting out any salts or keys.

I think you're using Microsoft.net and you might find this page useful:

if not, please specify tech details
