Hi,
We are t-r-y-i-n-g to use the Obfuscator accompanying DevStudio.
Before we can utilize it, we need to know what it does when you have more
than a single project, both sharing a common library. Assuming that *both*
are *fully* obfuscated, then what happens when one of them is being built?
will the obfuscation process of the second one obfuscate the common library
in the same manner it did when obfuscated the first project, or will it
create a different version? If the obfuscation process is non-deterministic
(meaning, if it is run consequently, you get different results, i.e.
different obfuscated names), then this tool is worthless for large
projects... when you obfuscate a project, you'd have to obfuscate all other
projects using the same common library (and then ship them all again...). Of
course, a naive solution would be to leave public members out of the
obfuscation process, but what about *protected* members? it seems as if
Dotfuscator treats these like they are private (which breaks inheritance of
objects from a shared library, in the aforementioned scenario).
Thanks for any suggestion

Wonder if you want to try our obfuscator, which I think is much easy to use
than Dotfuscator. We also offer a protector that provides the best
protection on the market.
You can download a trial version here: http://www.remotesoft.com/salamander.../download.html http://www.remotesoft.com/salamander/protector.html

I am using Dotfuscator Community Edition to obfuscate an application for
Pocket PC written in C#. When I made the first pass with Dotfuscator, the
app threw a MissingManifestResourceException. Of course, since the app has
been obfuscated, the only information I got about what caused the error
pointed to resource aq.
The Dotfuscator listing window had WARNINGs about all the forms in my app,
so I excluded them on the 'Rename' tab and...

Hi all,
This is partly a question, partly looking for feedback.
I've developed a web app that may be distributed to a few companies,
and I'd like to obfuscate the code. I haven't tried this with a web
app yet, let alone an ASP.NET 2.0 app.
Right now I'm publishing my web app as non-updateable, so I've got an
App_Code dll for about 15 or so classes, and then several dozen for the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
