Property Value
Type: System.String
Returns encrypted connection information in the form of a DPAPI_encrypted, provider-specific string.
Remarks
The encrypted connection string contains all information, including passwords (when chosen to be saved). The encryption used is the regular data protection API (DPAPI), which can only be decrypted by the user that encrypted it, and on the same machine. Thus, this string is most useful within a session of Visual Studio, or when persisted to a user-specific file that is never copied to a different machine.
For information about manipulating nonsensitive information, see DisplayConnectionString.
