    Is it possible to stop people from being able to decompile a C# program or to 'rip' the code out of a compiled application? Thanks. Stephen

      there are many obfuscation programs are available in market which you can use to secure your source code. a good defination of obfuscator from google : ) "Obfuscator is a program that garbles a source either by encryption or by substitution of codes. This means that the source to be compiled is hard to understand and hard to debug. But during runtime it is decrypted as pure source."

        You can make it harder by using an obfuscator. An obfuscator takes the IL and mangles it so that it is tough for decompilers to figure out the original source, while still maintaining the original logic of the program. All said and done, with enough time and resources, a motivated person can still decompile your code. Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro
