Obfiscation as part of "Release" Build?

Is it possible to Obfuscate the Release build of my application as part of
the compile/automatically?

Thanks!

you'll need a tool for that. Check out FinalBuilder: www.finalbuilder.com

It depends on the obfuscator. Some of them provide integration in the IDE
and the build process, others work as external tools. AFAIK, the Community
Edition of Dotfuscator does not allow it, the Standard edition too, but the
Professional edition does.

Alternatively you can use a .bat file to build and obfuscate, or a special
builder (www.finalbuilder.com and others).

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 RC and cannot figure out how to produce a "release" build. Am I doing something wrong? I'm wondering if perhaps MS locked out the ability to produce a release build when using the RC since it does not have a go-live license? Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I do not want to go live with a release build. Rather I just want to test locally to see if there is a performance difference and also to...

So when I build a VB.net application an .exe appears in the BIN folder, in the OBJ\RELEASE folder, the Debug folder - and even a few other places. So which one of these do I ship to a customer - one would think it would be the one in the RELEASE folder - but with MS what is intuitive is not always the case.... So far I've been shipping the one that appears in the BIN folder - and it appears to be exactly the same as the one in the OBJ/RELEASE...

It is my understanding - and please correct me if I'm wrong - that when building a project in debug mode, I can deploy the .pdb file along with the ..exe and thereby have access to the specific line number of code that throws an exception. Specifically, I can have an error logging routine that, amongst other things parses the call stack and tells me the specific line of code that choked. It is also my understanding that if building in...
