Need reverse engineering software?

Is it possible to convert a VB exe into source code? If so, which program
would do that, and are there any free of shareware ones.

O.k. thanks, I will try to find. It is not for stealing, it's the
opposite, I want to make sure that my obfuscated code
is properly obfuscated.
thanks.

Is this legal what you are doiing? Not stealing anyone's source code I hope.

Just search Google for 'decompilers'. Not seen any that are
freeware/shareware for VB.NET.

A good decompiler I know of is created by a company called: 'Microgold
Software Inc.', but I think it has a limit to how many lines it does without
paying the extortionate price for registration.

There is one other I know of called 'Decompiler.NET.Setup.msi', which is

Is that possible as VB.NET is compiled to MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate
Language)?

ILDASM.

Also, take a look on Google for dotnet reflector.

Ruth,

Our Decompiler.NET product is both an obfuscator and a decompiler
priced around the same as obfuscators or decompilers alone. It
generates higher level and more correct code that competing products.
We use it's obfuscator feature ourselves to protect it before shipping.
You can download a free trial version from the products page on our web
site at http://www.junglecreatures.com/
