But what I have is an app.config with windows application. How would it apply to that. also I have a custom encrypting tool and not a in built .net tool. I only encrypt the value attribute of the connectionstrings element. and I need to see if the value is encrypted by reading it.

I have tried the following. I tried to decrypt a decrypted string and got an exception. I am wondering if this is going to be consistent and a valid check .

Thanks
Sharon
