I have Silverlight App. That runs in two mode based on configuration. Is there a way i can store the keys in the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig.

 Or is there another way to better store this. keys. 

<add key="key" value="the value" />

</appSettings>

Hi! In Silverlight you would want to pass those in as InitParams.



(Ignore the Param I have highlighted. It's an artifact from helping someone else.) You want to make an InitParam.

I know about that. But i thougth it would be some more secure way to do this. May be inside XAP file.

If it helps you sleep better at night to do it that way, then sure I guess you could. But the XAP is just a Zip file, and can easily be reverse-engineered, so I wouldn't go to extraordinary lengths to hide something. :]
