protection advice - C# / C Sharp

Allen Anderson

I've been searching around the internet for a good protector. I don't
necessarily need function obfuscation as much as I just want to stop
people from easily decompiling the c# code inside functions. All the
tools I've seen so far googling the net are like $1k+. Anyone know
any good and not as expensive tools that allow you to protect single
assemblies? What have been your experiences with the ones out there?

Hi Allen,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need a tool to protect your .NET
assembly from being decompiled to C# code by others. If there is any
misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

I think what you need is a fuscator tool. As far as I know, Visual
Studio.NET 2003 Enterprise Architecture has provided us with such a tool.
It is named as Dotfuscator Community Edition. You can find it from Start ->
All Programs -> Visual Studio .NET 2003 -> Visual Studio .NET Tools ->
Dotfuscator Community Edition. With this tool, we can achieve the goal.

For more information, please check the following link:

HTH.
