I am hoping to modify the program found here:

[^]

I want to remove the encryption of the contact details and remove the user part of the program. I don't want to have to create users to use the program to store details. However i cant figure out how to do either - remove encryption or remove the userform and all references to it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay and what sort of "help" is it that you would expect from us? What does "can't figure out how" even mean? To remove something from the code, I would use the "Delete" key.

Hello,
My apologies if you find the problem vague.
I am trying to modify the program in the ways i mentioned and cant seem to get the application to still compile without any errors.
Are you familiar with the code?
The first windows form that opens when you run the application is the "UserForm", i am trying to delete this form however i am relatively new to c# and cant seem to find a way to remove it without causing more and more compile errors occurring. I am also trying to remove the encryption so the data is stored in an un-encrypted XML file, but am having similar troubles.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone with more experience could lend a hand?

No I am not familiar with that code. The author is probably the only one that is familiar with that code. Did you ask him? You are not going to find too many people that are going to be willing to re-write it for you. Unless you give us some detailed information, we will have a hard time helping you at all. Telling us you "get errors" does not tell us anything at all about which errors you are seeing on your screen.

You will have to get rid of CryptoStream and instead use FileStream with StreamWriter/StreamReader to get rid of encryption.

oh right, i see a reference to cryptostream in the code. is it simply a matter of changing the lines where it says cryptostream to filestream?

Have you thought of pasting the code? If this is just a code and not a data change, then it'll probably do it. Removing encryption from the data though, well that's a different story.
