Hi,
I wanted to find out if there is a way in VS.NET to encrypt the Source code (main solution file) so that other developers cannot tamper it or read it. That is, some sort of a security check, if one tries to open a solution file, the vs.net checks for the security and if the check fails, the source code gets encrypted or some similar feature.
I am wondering if .NET has a feature like this, ....

With Regards
Sunny
 
I don't think Visual Studio has such a feature. If you want to encrypt text files (your source code), why don't you try one of the many good encryption programs out there?

Alternately, if you're using a Windows NT variant (2000, XP, etc) and have some kind of administrative privileges, it's probably more convenient to set the permissions of the files so that only you can read them. Then you wouldn't have to bother with encrypting and decrypting them.
