A quick way to 'protect' your code (or Howto crash Reflector .NET) [modified]

It would be a whole lot simpler if everyone coded in IL, then they'd be no need for C#,F# VB.net etc.etc... One common lanugage to unite us all.
Two heads are better than one.

No, I posted a message on their forums. Unless you are completely confused by the *. That is a reference to the * (next to no-way) in my message.

I'm versed in .NET and C#, but not CIL. What exactly does this do, and why does it 1) not have a C# equivalent and 2) make Reflector eat shit?

Contact form on red-gate.com website? :doh: Just seen your other post, how did you your write this bug is what you were asking..........em, you used your keyboard to enter information onto your computer, thats how :~

Waving? dave.m.auld[at]googlewave.comThat was not the question... I am asking how to create that MSIL code in C#, if possible. I cant think of any way to do so.

- It is similar to:
static object Foo(object obj)
{
if (obj == null)
{
return obj;
}
return obj.GetType();
}But when you compile this in C#, it will use a bunch of store and load instructions. 1) I am not sure if C# ever emits the
dupopcode. 2) Because it is buggy, and you should never trust the output of Reflector's reconstructed C# code :)xacc.ide

Binary??? Man, that's so high-level. We should be shorting out transistors with DIP switches!

Perhaps.... You can write a small "IL Project" and merge it in your C# assembly! (How To[^] with Visual Studio)
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.

It does. For example,
dupoccurs when using the "??" operator, or when using the result of an assignment "return v = obj;". -

Thanks :) Unfortunately, one still cannot 'utilize' the stack as I have via C#, not that I think it will make any difference to native code output, just easier to write IL without having to deal with locals as well.

Yes, ILMerge is nice. The original IL was generated from C# anyways, I just tweaked it to make it easier to write with Reflection.Emit. :)
