.NET Compact Framework Connection String encryption/securing
- by Crazydog
I'm writing an application in C# for a smart device running Windows Mobile 6.1. It's pretty basic. Just querying a database and getting results. Nothing too fancy.
This program is only going to be deployed internally, but we still want to be secure with our SQL connection info.
What's the best way I should go about encrypting/securing my connection string in the program? I've seen examples for .NET programs using AppSettings, but I'm not seeing a Setting stab in my Solution properties.
This is my first time developing an application in C#/Visual Studio 2008, so there might be some kind of setting I'm missing.
Thanks for the help.
