String Encryption

[BadgerByte]

Hey all,

Horribly urgent, hope you can help.
I have a file which I'm currently using to pass around a pointer to a database on a network. I store values specifying Server, instance name, database name, username, password in the pointer and have a corresponding class which reads in the values. I'm now in a position where I need to encrypt these values and am on a horrible deadline. I'm looking at articles on encryption but have fallen to the evils of developer brain death. I know this should be a simple task with dotnet. I don't want to encrypt the whole file, just read in and out the encrypted values. I'll love you forever if you can help here guys.

Many thanks.
