strSecretKey is not hardcoded; it's a variable. You can put data into it
with:
Console.Write("Enter the secret key: ");
string strSecretKey = Console.ReadLine();
There is nothing hardcoded about it. I did screw up in my previous post by
putting it in quotes but that was not my intention.
Brad you're right. This would only help if the user had to input a key at
certain points in the program (like at startup). This would only help in
cases where there is manual intervention required by the user.
Dan you are right too. All that needs to be hijacked is the return value
(but at least the original key is still unknown).

Two comments.
First, "strSecretKey" is your key. How do you not call that hard-coded?
Second, did you read the original post? Someone is trying to find a way to
hide the key they need to connect to the MapPoint.net service. Your
described service doesn't really help them solve that problem.
