encrypt strings within web.config

[gsshaw]

I have read a couple articles on how to encrypt portions of the web.config via command line, but is there any way to do something simillar when console/command line access is not available? such as in a hosted environment? I could possible make a request to the company hosting my asp.Net 2.0 site, but I thought that I had viewed a tutorial some time back where someone did it programatically. P.S. Let me say to anyone that has noticed that this is my third quest for help this morning... I am new to this forum and promise to contribute back to the forum by helping others where I can. 8-)

What about doing this via cmd on your localmachine and update this portion in web.config from your host??
