Re: "ProtectSection" cannot save the file

well - the application needs the write (and create new files) permission for the application directory.

I don't that at all - consider encrypting the string using the command line tool with an admin account...

Hi,

I have a problem where after protecting the "connectionStrings"
section of the web.config file and then saving the encrypted version I
am getting "Access to the path C:*******\web.config is denied" - This
is both local IIS (Windows 2003) and hosting site.

Any clues as how I can save the file?
