By Safe, what do you mean? through reflection, the contents of code can be
easily examined unless it's obscured. In that sense, it's not safe at all.
However, you can define security policy for instance and exert tremendous
amount of control over how your app runs, where it runs etc. Since .NET is
in a managed environment, there are all sorts of other things that make it
more secure...no more buffer overflows for instance.
Lax coding practices make code insecure, not .NET. You can write insecure
code with any language and people do. If you understand how the framework
works, you can take measures to protect from whatever threats you perceive
to be there.

Hi
With the availability of tools like this;

1. How safe is the source of .net apps?
2. Is MS using .net to write any of their apps? If so, presumably anyone
would be able to decompile them into equivalent source?!
