decrypt decrypted string using convert.frombase64string()

[Steve]

I took over a web app that the developer encrypted the connection string. The connection string looks something like this [mchckjkfiekifjfyhg} (example), he is reading the string as

string con = ASCII.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(Configura tionManager.AppSettings["connection"]));

Now, I need to change the string in the web config file, so how can I get the new connection string from plain text to the encrypted string as is currently used?

byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(originalString );
string encodedString = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);

Sorry for being picky but note that the string is "encoded" rather than
"encrypted".
