you are also right.

Hello Rajesh,
Got your point.

In this case, we can use plain C# code for Encryption, decryption:
Example as below:
https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/encrypt-and-decrypt-a-string-in-asp-net1

In web.config, we will store encrypted string before hand.
In the code, use decrypt function on value read from web.config.

Please let me know, in case of any confusions

Thanks a lot sir

hi
thanx for answer Nanddeepji but your link useful for only MVC not in ASP.NET CORE.
because in asp.net core does not available web.config file.

Thanx
