Hi,

If developed in VS2010 and prepared as .gha. Is it possible for other people to view the source code in some reflector tools? If the answer is yes, then how to encrypt it?

 

Thanks!

    Hi Jerome,

     

    they cannot see the original source code, but it is possible to decompile a .NET dll into any .NET language. Reflector.exe support multiple languages such as IL, C#, F#, VB, MC++, Delphi and Oxygene.

     

    I'm not going to tell you how to encrypt your dlls because I've never used an encryptor and I feel the whole notion is fundamentally counter productive.
