When you have a button on a WinForm, you can inspect its properties. So, if I see a disabled button, I'll simply toggle the "enabled" property to gain access. If there's no button visible, I'll look at the form and check if there's an invisible button as a child. That means hiding/disabling buttons is not secure.

I dislike the idea of asking the user for a password in WinForms; if need be, all assemblies can be decompiled, adapted, and recompiled. For ASP that's less of an issue - but then I'd assume an AD that does the authentication, which means you don't need to provide yet another login.

If the app stores no passwords, how can any form of hacking the app discover them ...

for that matter, lots of Winform apps consume the plain-text user-entered password, hash it, salt it, and use that to query the DB for a check.

When you select a control, the PropertyGrid shows properties on that control. You can examine or change property values here. You should note that custom types are supported as long as they are binary serializable (see Basic Serialization).
