OK, I have successfully obfuscated the .exe in my bin folder. When I build
my deployment project, the obfuscated .exe is rebuilt to its original
unobfuscated state. How to I prevent this from happening so that the .msi
file has the obfuscated .exe? Build SetUp Project still insists on
rebuilding the .exe, presumably because it is a dependent of the setup
project.
What switch or setting am I missing?
Thanks,

Hi,
Create a new setup wizard project (not added to a project) and add
the obfustated exe to the files to include. The wizard will automatically
detect any dependancies and add them to the project.

When I use the dotfuscator (Community Edition), all my delegate

OK, I'm trying to understand the need for this. If I understand

Why isn't this tool automatically executed by default whenever I build

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

The Dotfuscator listing window had WARNINGs about all the forms in my app,

What's the current situation with obfuscating, dotfuscating, encryption and

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,...
