I want to save userid and password in a MySql database for my WinForms project. One of my friends told me that this is not secure; I should encrypt and save that. I don’t know about encryption.
How can I do this?

Usually passwords are not stored in database at all. Instead hash of the password is stored. You can take a look at SHA156 class for example.
There are plenty articles in the web on how to hash passwords.
For example Storing Passwords – done right!
