NGen - encrypt metadata - how?

Hi,

How do i achieve this? I extracted this from the internet.

Tools that compile your .NET code to native x86 code using the
"ngen" facility of the .NET runtime (essentially "pre-jitting" your
code) and encrypt the metadata raise the bar against decompilation a
bit,

I want to encrypt the metadata so when i use .net reflector, the codes are
hidden..

Any help please? Is Ngen possible to hide codes?

I tried ngen abc.exe, and i try to view in .net reflector, it seems to be no
difference, i still can see the codes!

Any help? Just want to achieve what remotesoft protector does!

Cheers.

You can't do that with ngen, otherwise RemoteSoft presumably wouldn't
have written Protector. If you want to achieve what RemoteSoft
Protector does, I suggest you buy RemoteSoft Protector.
