.NET IL Code

What was MS thinking when they created The .NET Compiler ? Man , the .NET Exe file can be easily disassemble :( and Don't tell me about The Blah ,Blah Obfuscated Code , My Cat can crack it :-\ :~

More likely they were thinking that they should provide a unifying environment where you can write programs in a language of your choice, and get access to common features in the same way regardless of the language. This environment should be independent of the operating system and should provide a modern object oriented development experience. Obfuscation has never really been part of this roadmap, and is not really relevant to most corporate developments which value speed of development.

People that worry about their code being recompiled are worrying about the wrong things. I seriously doubt Apple would care if you managed to completely reverse engineer and steal there iStore for iTunes or whatever it is called because you would not be able to steal their market share or business model. And that, is what is important. Most software that can be thought of as needing real protection from decompiling can actually be protected by patents, trademarks, and DMCA suits.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the universe, "The fact has not created in me

Is it really that different than disassembling a native executable? No matter what language it's in, or how it's compiled, it can be broken down and analyzed. My thoughts are, put a bit of money/effort in to disuade 'casual' disassemblers, and that's probably enough. Anyone who cares enough can crack any application.

Yes it is, you can't just Reflect a compiled C++ program and reproduce the source code the way you can with .NET IL.

Indeed, but MS have made it particularly easy with .NET IL.

Java's not a native executable, it's also intermediate code.

I said it's about as easy as Java, as if to say that it's neither special nor new, which doesn't even actually disagree with the point you're making, it's just the kind of useless remark that people here would expect from me. :laugh: See? All done. No disagreement in sight. I'll go do something useful now.. for 5 minutes or so, then TF2 again :)
