You can either write the code yourself or there are lots of articles online about how to encrypt web.config connectionstrings. Where are you stuck?

Isn't that irrelevant? Aren't you asking how to encrypt something in web.config?

Hi Sam path,

I would suggest you to write your own encryption/decryption technique and make it as run able application.Which can be used in other project also.
Sure it will help you in project as well as it would help you learn a bit.

Encrypt the connection string using your own method and put it in web.config
Read the encrypted connection string from app.config in application and decrypt it before using it.

This would impress you manager as well Wink ;-)

Thanks,
RK

Let it be, implement your own encoding technique to convert login details in web.config then while reading or accessing the login details just decode the same with the technique since you only know the decoding method then pass it to access the www.salesforce.com cloud. Cheers!!!!
