Connection String in config file

Chris__B

Hello all,

Can anyone offer any comments/suggestions for storing connection string information (i.e. user name and password for sql server authentication) in the config file? Not so much on how to store and access it, but I've seen some examples on the internet and they all seem to use a non-encrypted password value which seems odd to me from a security standpoint. Typically I've been storing the information in the registry.

Cheers,
Chris
