Protecting Source Code

[JSadleir]

Once VC++.Net code has been compiled, how difficult is it to convert the compild code back to the source code? Are there any simple tricks to make this more difficult? There were a couple of suggestions in earlier posts to this Message Board suggesting the use of a checksum of the preprocessed code or placing some code in #IFDEF preprocessor statements. Does anyone have simple examples of these techniques? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Regards Jeremy
