Encrypt & Decrypt ConnectionString Section
Sometimes we need to secure ConnectionString to prevent anyone can knows it. whatever your purpose from securing ConnectionString, there is a way to Encrypt and Decrypt ConnectionString by special codes as we will see now...
In the Web.Config file we found <connectionStrings> section that enable us to add ConnectionStrings
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Data
Source=My-pc\sqlexpress;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=Northwind"
providerName="System.Data.OleDb" />
</connectionStrings>
Now we have to go to see how can we Encrypt and Decrypt ConnectionStrings don't foreget add System.Web.Configuration name space
protected void Encryption(bool EncryptoValue)
{
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~");
ConfigurationSection sec = config.GetSection("connectionStrings");
if (EncryptoValue == true)
{
sec.SectionInformation.ProtectSection("DataProtectionConfigurationProvider");
}
else
{
sec.SectionInformation.UnprotectSection();
}
config.Save();
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Encryption(true);
}
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Encryption(false);
}
You can test that now hope that useful
