    <p>Very similar to this SO question </p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1214582/ways-around-putting-a-password-in-code/1214689#1214689">Ways around putting a password in code</a></p> <p>Since, you did not mention the platform, I am assuming Windows. I am reproducing my answer to that question here.</p> <p>You have multiple options here.</p> <p>1.You can hash the password the very first time and store the hash to a file. Now the next time, you want to execute the code with elevated privileges, you need to accept/retype the password and re-compute the hash and match it with the stored hash. Only if it matches will you execute your code in elevation modes. You could hash using SHA. Please look at System.Crytography namespace for examples on hashing.</p> <p>2.Second option is to encrypt the password using algorithms like AES. However you will need to have a key to do this and you will have to worry about securing this key.</p> <p>3.Third option is to use DPAPI and encrypt the password but not worry about securing the keys - much easier option than 2.</p> <p>I would recommend 1 if you do not mind re-entering the password every time the application starts. If that is not a possibility, I would suggest going with 3 and use DPAPI.</p> <p>Here are some links to get you started.</p> <p>1.<a href="http://www.obviex.com/samples/dpapi.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.obviex.com/samples/dpapi.aspx</a> 2. <a href="http://www.obviex.com/samples/Encryption.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.obviex.com/samples/Encryption.aspx</a></p>

    1. COThe suggestion to hash the password fails to take the rainbow table attack into account. The password must be "salted" before it is hashed. See http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000949.html

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
