title: Encrypting connectionStrings section - utility for app.config
body: <p>Is there a utility that will encrypt a named configuration section (or just the <code>connectionStrings</code> section) in an <code>app.config</code> file in a similar manner that one can use <code>aspnet_regiis</code> with <code>web.config</code> files?</p>
  
  <p>I know this can be done in code - there are code examples out there, but I am hoping to avoid writing an application for this.</p>
