There is no predefined method to encrypt connection string. You need to use Encryption classes provided with .NET framework.

Still I am not getting what will the benefit on encrypting connection string ? Connection string written in Web.Config is not publicly visible, ASP.NET won't server .config files too. Then what is the use of encrypting ?
