if VB.NET was good for nothing but studying and playing hows come some major
corporations run applications they created in VB.NET? Because of the way IL
is compiled symbols are going to be included... this happens with any IL
language such as Java. and what is stoping you from reverse engineering C++
code? if you can understand assembly and have some time on your hands you
can decompile it also in a sense

Thanks for the compliments regarding our Decompiler.NET product. The
product includes a built-in obfuscation option that generates
obfuscated source code that you can recompile that still runs like the
original code. You may want to try this feature to see how readable
the obfuscated code is.
Our obfuscator encrypts string literals and replaces them with
references. It also includes unique advanced features not provided by
other available obfuscators like generating public stub methods and
properties to avoid breaking public interfaces, but factoring their
bodies and calls within the same assembly into obfuscated
implementation methods. Our refactoring feature also includes an
option for encapsulates fields with generated properties and tightens
their scoping to private.

Herfried, comments. Code without comments is rather worthless.
In my experience well written code shouldn't need comments! At least not a
lot of comments.
Well written code should be largely self explanatory based on the class,
method, property, parameter, field, and variable names.
I am not however suggesting that there should be NO comments at all.
I like the example from the "Human-Readable Code" section in Joshua
Kerievsky's "Refactoring to Patterns" from Addison Wesley:
' adopted to VB.NET
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim firstOfMonth As DateTime = November(1, 2004)
Dim lastOfMonth As DateTime = November(30, 2004)
End Sub
Where the November function is defined as:
Private Shared Function November(ByVal day As Integer, ByVal year As
Integer) As DateTime
Return New DateTime(year, 11, day)
End Function
Just a thought

Cor,
I don't understand what you are trying to say here about our product
license enforement strategy.
We offer a free trial version, and issue digitally signed license
files to our customers that restict the application to the machine
where they installed it. The statement above refers to the changes
that we made regarding our license file format that prevented old
license files from enabling full functionality in newer releases of
our product.
We also offer obfuscation features to assist customers in obfuscating
their code to protect their intellectual property. We use our own
obfuscation implementation along with encryption to produce each
release of our products that we release to customers.
Using our product requires that you agree with our license agreement
which prohibits you using our tools for illegal purposes.
Can you explain what you mean by the "thief" reference?
Feel free to email me directly.

Hey, Hm, yeah, that doesn't even count. It's all throw-away stuff.
Anyone that thinks "comments" are optional, Is optional. But
it's your mess so what I think doesn't matter.
Haha, some people like them, some people dont. I have gone through stages
of attempting to put descriptions above each and every method with inputs,
outputs, description and author but just got bored with it. Also I find
code very hard to read at 1024 x 768 in a text editor about 100 x 100 in
size without having to rake through comments in it too.
I think the code that should mainly have comments is code that is used to
teach. But anyway, thats only my opinion.
Nick.
Just to add a touch of irony, I should use a different decompiler to
decompile your little aplette and then post the project file on here, naaah,
I would *never* do that! nope nope nope.
By the way, the codes a bit dirty!

?!? That sucks, I've never even been able to open a passworded zip file using
an app designed for the task of brute force simply because it takes too
long. These groups must be very adamant on destruction that's all I can
say!
That's true. However, there are techniques (lot of higher math involved)
that'll get you closer faster than brute force. Ofcourse, you really must be
wanting something very badly (or just have an unbelievably high level of
grudge towards 'someone') to go the lengths.

You miss understood my statement! I did not intend to imply that comments
are optional. I actually meant that a lot of comments are redundant. If you
label (name) the code for what it does, then I (in addition to Fowler &
Kerievsky below) don't see a real need for the comment. Fowler also suggests
that if you have a block of code with a comment preceding it, that you
should move the block of code to its own method, with the comment as the
name of the method.
Another example is putting a comment on a variable or parameter declaration.
If you simply pick a fuller name for the variable or parameter, do you
really need a comment on it?
For example, I have a routine that needs two date variables:
' with comments
Dim d1 As DateTime ' the start date
Dim d2 As DateTime ' the ending date
' without comments
Dim theStartDate As DateTime
Dim theEndingDate As DateTime
If you simply name the first variable as theStartDate do you really need a
comment suggesting the value is the start date?
Consider seeing d1 & d2 used 5 times in your routine, would the code be as
readable as using theStartDate & theEndingDate?
Would you need comments when you use d1 & d2?
Would you need comments when you use theStartDate & theEndingDate?
In other words "Human-Readable Code" or as Fowler states in Refactoring "Any
fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write
code that humans can understand".
You may want to read (& apply the ideas in) Martin Fowler's book
"Refactoring" and Joshua Kerievsky's book "Refactoring to Patterns" both
from Addison Wesley to have a better understanding of my statement.

It's the compiler task to avoid exposing non exportable symbols.

My view is that in essence, comments should serve to explain code which
either has some quirk in it to compensate for an inadequacy or issue with
classes which it interacts with or is dealing with some particularly complex
or intricate algorithm.
Otherwise, my beleif is the same as yours, well written code needs little
explaination when being read by someone competent.

I think you've missed what obfuscators do. They map existing names to
"nonsense" names, and only give the developer the map. Stack traces etc
can then be "decrypted" - but only someone with the map.
If you think that everything encrypted can be decrypted without the
private (secret) part, I suggest you read up on one-time pads as a
simple counter example. You could also tell me what this message says:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A.
Anyone with the appropriate text file would be able to work out what
that meant, but I don't think you'll be able to, somehow.
A good obfuscator will completely remove all information that can be
removed, as far as anyone without the nonsense->original map is
concerned. You may still be able to understand the code, but it's a
*lot* harder to do so.

Jay,
This has been a long time discussion when Cobol was the major programming
language.
Some where in my opinion using it as a kind of Assembler because they had to
write too much.
(Code was not typed on a screen at the beginning).
However I have always been for explaining names and even used in that time
never a prefix, however things as "day in dateofbirth" while a lot found
that as well to much work; you earned that when you had to do a lot of
maintenance and could easy create copy parts with that (and reuse the name
day).
(This is indirect an answer on a message from OHM from past week about
prefixes).
VB had in my opinion not the same first goal as COBOL, "making a program
that could be read in plain English". However, you can reach it very much,
therefore document it in the code with readable names, and therefore make it
possible to avoid documentation sentences (which often are made that bad,
that it brings you more on the wrong way than the right way).
COBOL was a superior language in that, however it is completely created
around batch processes. In my opinion, have the later extensions to make it
usable for interactive use, never reached the possibilities from languages
which where directly made for that and therefore it will die.
This is not in contradiction with what you write, however to give some extra
historical background.
Cor
LOL! Good work!

not necessarily. The point is that you can make totally not related methods
make overloads of the same method which you then call a0oO or whatever.
Whenever that happens, you are not able to reproduce the real method.
If you for example make all your forms in a .exe internal and all methods of
these forms internal, you can practically mangle everything in the .exe to a
couple of overloaded methods.
