Hi all,

I would like to develop a VB.NET windows application with SQL 2005 as a
database. My requirement is data must be sent to VB app in an ecrypted
format and the app will decrypt the data. When I deploy the application
to clients machines and when they try to open the databse, they
shouldn't be able to see the data and be able to modify them outside
the vb app. They should be able to get to see the data and modify it
through the app only.

Can any one guide me how to start building this? Are there any
documents online that explains in depth details of data encryption in
SQL 2005?

Thanks in advance.
