title: How to hide XML Configuration File
body: <p>I have just finished making my application and finished building it. And everything is working fine.</p>
  
  <p>And then I notice an XML Configuration file in the folder, So I click it.</p>
  
  <p>And there it is, my whole connectionstrings along with my remote sql server ip address, login username and login password which is visible for all to see.</p>
  
  <p>I tried deleting the XML Configuration file and ran the program, it just makes a App_Data folder inside the folder with a default database.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to hide the XML Configuration file or make it unreadable, as it contains all my connection info.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
