That's a rather "apples and oranges" diversion, wouldn't you say?It would be seen as foolish to argue that NET is insecure because you can store data in insecure files. If the data needs to be secure, then storing it in local files is not an option. It would be an error; a story about the developer, not the development tool.
but using .NET to store XML is a much smaller issue compared to using .NET against a "regular" data store.Sure.
Hey KG, what are we actually arguing here? i think we both know very well about security and reasons to use various data stores. Yet I get the flavor that we are almost sparring. Does the specter of JVP do that to people? ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
