    Hi My company has licensed Dotfuscator pro, so we have to obfuscate our releases using it. However, after a couple of weeks of using it, I can say it's a piece of ...(you know what). There is no reliable control about obfuscating and removing processes, tool hangs up itself or crashes VS. There is even no validation of assembly after obfuscation, which can result in some strange errors in releases. I have seen that there are many obfuscators on the market right now, but have no time to evaluate all of them. So, please - could anyone recommend something? Regards H. ps: What I really need is obfuscation, linkng and removing unneeded stuff in .NET 2.0 winforms apps and services, with nHibernate layer thanx H.

      I've looked at Skater .NET Obfuscator by RustemSoft in the past, and it works well. I've had it crash Reflector when trying to pry at my obfuscated code.
