Greetings,

I am attempting to find a way to store a chunk of data inside of a C#.NET
application. I originally intended to use DPAPI via the Protect class in
System.Security.Cryptography. However, one of the consumers of this
application can only run the 1.1 framework and that class was added in 2.0.

Is there a way to hook the same functionality in the 1.1 framework?

Thanks,
Jacob

You can still use the underlying DPAPI by using platform invoke. See
www.pinvoke.net for example method signatures.
