You said that this would be useful for a database online?
I have a project and it needs to connect to mysql client for my online website to check validation fields, how do I protect my database username, database name, and password in my visual basic project?
how does a programmer set this up for protection?
I see your encryption tutorial, do I put this encryption code within my project to protect database info? and do I leave this encrypted code in the project and leave the form that created my database details?
I am not sure how to use this for my database, if I leave the encrypt file in the project I am sure people can decrypt it lol, so how do I do this please?
can you give me a tutorial on this?

to protect your .exe files from being de-compiled
you will ofc need a encrypter (This you should do with both your .exe and your custom .dll files!)
You can use encrypted password protection for your users but that can be easier said than done <!-- s

Yes, the best way to prevent your code from being decompiled, is by using what is called a Code Protector.. It pretty much tricks the code decompiler into thinking that there is no code in the file.
