How do you set the value of a Security.SecureString?



Dim strSecure As New Security.SecureString



strSecure = CType("Friday", Security.SecureString)

It's not very easy. Here is some code:



Public Shared Function LoadSecureString(ByVal input As String) As

System.Security.SecureString

LoadSecureString = Nothing



If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(input) Then

LoadSecureString = New System.Security.SecureString

For Each character As Char In input.ToCharArray

LoadSecureString.AppendChar(character)

Next

LoadSecureString.MakeReadOnly()

End If



End Function
