Secure your connection string in web.config

Thought I'd just put a quick post together on this one, since I am often asked about it.

If you are worried about leaving names and passwords in web.config, but like the ease of it, then a very simple way of encrypting the values, putting them in the registry and then retrieving them through a simple change in syntax in web.config is detailed here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q329290; it also includes a little command line utility to do the work for you.  Nice.

Microsoft go Welsh, but still spell Colour without a u!

Microsoft must be reading my blog ;-). In British English or English? I wondered why the Welsh language isn't supported in .net.  Well it seems that that is changing for Windows at least.  The BBC: Microsoft works on native tongues, states "The Welsh language is to be introduced into Microsoft Windows", so presumably .net culture support will come with that too.

No mention on whether the English-GB culture will be supported properly though, so that Color is spelt Colour in the Windows UI.  Maybe I should start a campaign?
