Hi everyone. I'm creating an app that stores DB connection strings in the
web config file. I'm using the MSDN resources at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/secmod/html/secmod21.asp and the related articles for help.

However, when using the code in the above article, I get the following
exception:
"Exception decrypting. Unable to load DLL (kernal32.dll)." When I click on
the button "Decrypt string from config file", the application begins to
postback but then quits after the Page_Load event.

If someone could point me in the right direction, it would be very much
appreciated.

-Mark
