Here is an example: <ItemGroup> <WiXProjectFile Include="MyProduct.wxs" > <TargetObjectFile>MyProduct.wixobj</TargetObjectFile> <LinkableObjectFile>wixui_mondo.wixlib</LinkableObjectFile> <LinkableObjectFile>another_lib.wixlib</LinkableObjectFile> <LanguageFile>WixUI_en-us.wxl</LanguageFile> <MsiName>MyProduct.msi</MsiName> </WiXProjectFile> </ItemGr ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql Server Express - Shared Hosting - Connection String - What do you guys do?

  Hey, I have a asp.net 2.0 app that has a sql server express backend. I have been scratching my head for weeks trying to find a good wasy to encrypt my connection string. I store the string in web.config (which in itself is in theory "safe" because it's not servable) and I have scoured the web to try to find a simple way to encrypt the connection string. Even using user store would require running aspreg_iis.exe on the host with a command prompt (which clearly I cannot do). It seems that everyone's solution requires running a command prompt executable on the server. So I am left to wonder what everyone else does. I am not comfortable using just the web.config because a determined hacker could get to that info. Then again, a determ ...Show All
