I'm using Xheo codeveil, and I'm very content with that. As for it being better or worse than any other, I don't know, because I'm not a hacker, so I cannot judge which obfuscation is easier or harder to crack. But I would be very interested in following this thread and get some pointers from people who knows. As for obfuscation, this is a very good link: http://www.csharp411.com/net-obfuscators/‏[^] It lists a lot of obfuscators, but unfortunately there's no feature comparison... Good luck

I have been using Eazfuscator.NET which is an open source solution for obfuscation. You can visit http://www.foss.kharkov.ua/g1/projects/eazfuscator/dotnet/Default.aspx[^] for this. I have been happy with the results so far. Som

If you're talking about the obfuscator that came with Visual Studio, it's crap and won't prevent reverse engineering. You actually have to *buy* a product, and there are several on the market. Be aware that only one of them (that I know of) is capable of obfuscating wpf/silverlight code. Try googling for "obfuscation tool", and you'll get many hits. I've seen them for anywhere from $169 to several thousand dollars, but have never had the opportunity to actually use one.

Dotfuscator sucks. Phoenix Protector[^] is pretty good and free As with any obfuscator, it is not actually immune to reverse engineering, it just delays it.

Using Crypto Obfuscator would give you good protection - it has various obfuscation and protection techniques like method call hiding, control flow obfuscation besides usual like symbol renaming, string encryptin, etc.
