Re: save an xml file

Rodchar,

A real amazing question. XML is a format created to make it open for every
data exchange.

Than you ask "how can I encrypt it". The most simple form to encrypt a file.
Use a zipfile with a password, although that is easy to decrypt, or make it
yourself using a streamwriter with an encoding technique.

However just my thought,

Re: save an xml file

One approach is to encrypt the xml document in memory and save the encripted
result in a file (which won´t be a xml file). On load, do the reverse. Look
..NET cryptography at
