Hi Kevin,
Obfuscator companies sell different editions, and typically the basic
edition does not integrate with VS builds but the advanced edition does.
See, for example:
http://www.dotfuscator.com/products/.../Editions.html
That said, with any edition you can always create a script to make the build
from the command line using devenv.exe /build, etc. and then obfuscate the
assembly.
There are also 3rd party products such as
www.FinalBuilder.com that take
care of building the exe and obfuscating it using friendly tools instead of
forcing you to write a .bat/.vbs script.

Is it possible to perform obfuscation on code automatically as part of a
build in Visual Studio 2003?
For example, instead of building code in release mode, is it possible to
create a custom build configuration that will build the code in release
mode
and then call an obfuscation program to obfuscate the newly built code?
Ideally what im looking for is a way to integrate obfuscation into the
build
process so that when I create my setup program I can just point it to the
output of my other project, which I know will spit out obfuscated code
once
its compiled.
Im pretty new to obfuscation so any help on the above, or suggestions or
ideas on how other people tackle this problem would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks in advance!
