Encrypting files automatically when closing a programme
-
Hi, I'm struggling a bit with getting my programme to automatically encrypt a set of files when the programme closes. My programme writes the files during run-time in response to people's answers to certain questions. I don't want others able to snoop on this data and thus need the programme, when the CLOSE button is pressed, to automatically encrypt all the files which have been written to that session, Any help would be much appreciated.

VB6 or VB.NET? Do you really NEED to encrypt the files or just keep them from the eyes of others? If you are on a system that has access privileges set up you should be able to just keep the data file for each user inside their own profile space so that no other logged on user can access them.

VB.Net. Unfortunately I really do need to encrypt the files since they would contain confidential information which should not be accessible to anyone except people with admin privileges ( IOW, the people entering the info shouldn't even have access to the entered info). I've looked into the various other ways of doing this and I really think encryption is the way I need to go, unfortunately I haven't found a way to enact it without first loading the file into a textbox and then encrypting only that text. Unfortunately that's a no go also.
