Hi Everyone,

I've developed a web control and compiled it to dll.But The dll can be
disassembly and shown most of the source code.
What should I do if I deploy the dll to clients and wanna protect the
source code at the same time?

Thanks

You need to obfuscate the dll. To do that you can use Dotfuscator community
edition that comes with VS.NET. This edition offers some amount of
protection but to get maximum protection you need to buy their professional
edition(That's what we use). There are also other obfuscators on the market
as well just do a search for "obfuscators".
