    Hello. This is about DPAPI and configuration files.
    Basically, what I understand is when loading the exe assembly the framework
    takes parameters from the config file and loads them.
    I want to store THE ENTIRE web.config ( or any other config file ) using
    DPAPI.

    That is - I want to develop a component which intercept the frameworks
    request to the web.config, decrypt the config file stored in the DPAPI
    protected storage and give it to the framework for regular execution.

    The thing is - I want it to be transparent. I don't want other development
    teams to be concered and implement this logic in their applications.

    Any idea's ?

    Dan Amiga,
    Israel.
