In order to debug an obfuscated assembly, the obfuscator needs to maintain
the a correct .pdb file for the obfuscated image. For those obfuscators that
use ilasm to generate the final image file, the original .pdb file can not
be used, and thus they don't support source code level debugging.

You can try to download our Salamander .NET Obfuscator,

Our obfuscator supports source level debugging, you can step through the
original source code using the obfuscated image. It is very easy to figure
out what is going on.

In your case, you can examine the exception, and probablly you need to
exclude some symbol names from obfuscation.
