title: How can I securely embed a static string (key) in C#?
body: <p>I'm looking for a way to securely store an API key in a WP7 application. The key is a string and is currently hard coded into the code (see below). I know that someone with a reflector program could easily view this. Is there a better way to package this key as part of my app? Would a resource be more secure?</p>
  
  <pre><code>string key = "DSVvjankjnersnkaecjnDFSD44VDS23423423rcsedzcadERVSDRFWESDVTsdt";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(This isn't actually the key ;) )</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
