Recently I got a chance to play around with the Data Protection Application
Programming Interface (DPAPI). With .NET 2.0 installed, you can encrypt your
Web.config just by using aspnet_regiis.exe on the command line.
aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "connectionStrings" -app “/YourWebSite”
–prov "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"
You can read the ConnectionStrings section back using ConfigurationManager
as if the file is not encrypted. That is all you have to do, the encryption
is transparent to your application.
This encryption works great for Web.config, however, it does not work
if you want to encrypt the App.config for non web based applications. The
aspnet_regiis is hardcoded to look for Web.config.
One can programatically encrypt just as easily:

How Many Threads Do You Need?
AspNet4You Author's Comment-- Very interesting article. If you are a lead developer or an application designer, you must read this article. Don't forget to read section- "Multi-Processor Systems".
Multithreading is important. But is it important for you and your applications? Often when I discuss this issue with fellow developers, the answer seems to be driven more by their background and less by their need. Developers with a C or C++ background, for instance, seem more likely to use threading extensively, while developers who come from languages such as Visual Basic 6 or Visual FoxPro tend to dismiss threading as a technique that their business applications dont need.
So how much threading do you really need? The answer might surprise you, but before we can get to the bottom of the issue, let me tell you what multithreading is, how it works, and when it is beneficial (both in todays world as well as in tomorrows scenarios).

ASP.NET stores all the configuration information in plain text files called web.config and machine.config files. We store all vital information including database connection strings, user names, passwords for the databases. Thus you end up storing all sensitive information in vulnerable plain text files which is nothing but security compromise.
Taking a clue, Microsoft has provided the capability to encrypt sensitive information in configuration files including connection strings in ASP.NET 2.0. With this new capability you can easily encrypt sections of configuration files which makes your application secure.

There's a lot of setup and installation of modules that needs to be done before Crystal Reports .NET will work. These are done for you on your dev machine when you install VS.NET. You have to create an MSI file to do this on a production machine. This resource will help you deploy your CR.NET app.

This article describes how to use the CrystalReportsViewer and Crystal Report Template components within VS 2005 and how to populate a report from a dynamically generated DataSet at runtime without login errors. This is typically known as the "push" method.
