Encrypting the ConnectionString in the MRT file

Hi!
I know there has been several posts on this topic and want to know ::
1) Can the ConnectionString be encrypted as of the latest build?
2) If not, why it is so difficult to encrypt & Base64 encode it?
This is important as a smart user can get the connection details from examining the MRT file in a text editor.
Regards

Hello,
You can subscribe on the event of saving a report and save it as packed or encrypted.
Thank you.

Hi!
To clarify, I am using the Report class in a Win32 non .NET application via a wrapper DLL. I am already storing the MRT file contents in a database. So, can I use the LoadEncryptedReport()/SaveEncryptedReport() OR LoadEncryptedReportFromString()/SaveEncryptedReportToString() method combinations to achieve what I want? Any particular issues to be careful about?
Regards

Hello,
These methods encrypt a report and provide access to the report after the correct password in inserted.
Thank you.

Hi!
Just to confirm, with SaveEncryptedReport() the MRT file will be encrypted and hence the ConnectionString in it will not be visible.
