Exceptions and Code Obfuscation

Hello,

We're developing a Windows Forms application and we log any exception
that may occur during execution to a file. This file can be sent to us
by our customers so we can identify common bugs faster. Problem is, if I
obfuscate the code with any tool on the market (I've tried some of
them), exceptions loose a lot of meaning and it becomes harder to
identify the source of the problem. Is there anyway to keep this
information available for exception handling?
Thanks.

Regards,
paulo

No, they use the same information but some of the obfusicators also have
exception managing code which un-does things once the exception is shipped
up http://www.smartassembly.com/product/how8.aspx as an example.
