RE: Encrypt App.Config

Hi Dave,

As for the configuration file encryption feature, it doesn apply for both
ASP.NET web.config and other app.config. However, so far we only have
aspnet_regiis tool for web.config encryption. For app.config, we need to
use some additional code to do the encryption. I have also discussed this
with some others in the following thread:

Therefore, you can write a simple console application to help encrypt a
given app.config file(loaded via file path).

Is there a command line utility to encrypt the connections strings in an
App.Config file similar to how aspnet_regiis -pef works for Web.Config?
