Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a C# standalone application which connects to a Sybase DB. Currently the log-in details for the Database server are stored under &lt;appSettings&gt; in my config file. My users are not happy with this, due to security fears. Also they are worried that the application has no log-in function. They fear that someone can come along and start-up the app and change the data in production without permission.<br />
<br />
I was wondering:<br />
<br />
A) how can I hide / mask, etc the Database Server details from prying eyes<br />
<br />
B) Best implement a log-in, or solution to the second problem.<br />
<br />
THANKS

Hiding Database Server Login Details in config file

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
