How to encrypt one entry in web.config

Question

ASP.NET 4

I\'ve used RSA key encryption for connection strings in web.config on my web farm. However, there\'s one more custom password entry that I\'d like to encry

Answer 1

In c# and .Net 4.5 I had to use this to read the encrypted setting:

string password = ((System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("secureAppSettings"))["Password"];

but otherwise works a treat.
