    I am willing a create C# windows application and wanted to distribute it through internet.But I came to know the the .net assemblies can be decompiled.There are so many Obfuscaters avilable but i don't have money to buy that. Can anybody suggest anything other than Obfuscaters.

    I believe VS 2008 comes with a obfuscater community edition which will be free.

    All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia How to use google | Ask smart questions

        No. But by asking this question, you likely will not need one. If you have some serious IP to hide, write it in C/C++.

            If its something ground breaking, get a patent. You wont be able to stop someone 100% from reading your code. Why are you worried about people seeing your code anyways?

                If you happen to be knowledgable in a programming aspect you can always write an outstanding article and if you are chosen in the CodeProject monthly competition for best article you can get one for free (depending on language and month).

                  You do know that IP stands for Intellectual Property, don you? That would be the only thing that you would really want to protect in the first place.

                    Don't say some bullshit if you don't know the answer. Every company is concerned about their source code. I am creating a product by after a lot of hardwork. Someone simply decompiling my code a creating a new version of it. what is the meaning in that.

                      And that's why company's get patents.
