Hi

Thank you guys for your quick and informative replies.

I am not interested in any tools for decompiling i just wanted to know if
this is possible on a Release Version. I have tried Dotfuscator, but not
interested to pay extra for their full-version.

TIA
Barry

Hi, I've seen opensource free Dotfuscator.

Hi Barry,

IMHO the dotfusctator community edition does not really protect your code.
It's rather easy to read. Plus, your stacktraces will be messed up because
all the methods have been renamed.

Kind regards,
Henning Krause

It's even easier. There's a nice add-in to Reflector that will do this for
you. It will even let you add new code to a single function and rebuild the
assembly.
