I double-checked, for me I get the following MSDN article:
"Thwart Reverse Engineering of Your Visual Basic .NET or C# Code".

TJS,

I see the MSDN article in that link just fine.

Hello Pietro,

I've noticed that you have gotten a lot of responses suggesting an obfuscator.
I just wanted to make sure that you knew that an obfuscator simply munges
the code. While a decompiler can still be used against your program, the
obfuscator makes it hard, but not impossible to determine what is going on.
