Encrypting string in the web.config

[Chopsaki]

I have a server that has general access to all developers. We have some sensitive information (payroll) that is in a database. The username & password are stored in the web.config file. I need to be able to encrypt them somehow. This doesn't have to be anything special, just to stop browsing eyes from seeing what they are. I used to do this in java, just have no idea how to do it in VB.nET

Thanks in advance,
