I am trying to encrypt my connection string in the app.config file. I am
using Base64 encryption, I just want to hide it from casual users. I keep
getting file not found error. However when I just use the connection string
in plain text I can connect fine. The only difference between the two is
the @ sign is used in front of the connection string (plain) when I view
them in the command window (see below). Any ideas?
? this.connectionString "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\csdm.dll;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=passwd;" ? this.connectionString
@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\csdm.dll;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=passwd;"
