how to reduce the size of exe File ...

[RobCroll]

Obfuscation will not only make the exe smaller but also protect your IP.

Prove it.

[RobCroll]

void GetDataFromDatabaseSortedByCustomerName()
{
int customerId;
//more maintainable code with meaningful naming
}

Obfuscated

void a()
{
int a;
//more unmaintainable code with meaningless names like b, c, x
}

The obfuscated IL code is going to be smaller

Trouble is, it does absolutely sod all to protect your IP.

1.5 Mb isn't that much; why is it a problem and what are you trying to achieve?

Really! I didn't know this before ! :omg:

I definitely see obfuscation as a deterrent. At least it's going to cost them more to reverse engineer. But sure if there just hunting down algorithms, it's pretty well useless.

And you don't now. Obfuscation does not protect your IP. As a deterrent, it is next to useless if someone has a reasonable toolset available.
