Is it secure to store password in C# code?

Is it secure to have a password as a plain string in the c# code? I will only have one user that will use the login feature. Thank you.

No it isn't secure, as the others have already said, it's not a complicated matter to decompile a dll etc and retrieve the source code...

Perhaps you could look into putting it an an app key in the web.config file and encrypt that using IIS... Have a read of this Microsoft walkthrough for encrypting the web.config connection string

No, it's not safe. Many decompilers like reflectors can easily retrieve the password, main reason for it is code can be easily decompiled.
