title: How to hide connection string in app config from user
body: <p>All my grids and combo boxes bound to dataset/adapter which the connection string set in app config, but the connection string is included in primary output when installed in my client. i tried to exclude it because the connection string contain my database password, but my app returned an exception. </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;connectionStrings&gt;
      &lt;add name="HNBS_SALON_SPA.My.MySettings.dbhnbspapuaConnectionString"
          connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=&amp;quot;mydb.accdb&amp;quot;;Persist Security Info=True;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=abcdefg"
          providerName="System.Data.OleDb" /&gt;
  &lt;/connectionStrings&gt;
  </code></pre>
