I have a console app that extracts data from an Oracle database. The application is built with Visual Studio 2005. I am using the Enterprise Library Data Access application block which uses the app.config file to store the connection string. I would like to encrypt either the connection string or the entire file when I build the application. What is the best way of doing this?

The above article is aimed at ASP.NET but it works just as well for WinForms. You just need to use the -pef switch with aspnet_regiis.exe. The section on Web Farms basically corresponds to a deployed WinForms application.
