(Q) .NET App Source Code Protection (Silverlight, Windows Phone, Windows 8)

[athapa]

I've used Codeveil and Crypto Obfuscator. The 2nd one is 10 times cheaper!

I won't say they are perfect but they've helped me deter the causal crackers.

The best I've seen so far is the "Salamander .net Protector". When you use reflection to see what is in the .net functions, it will appear empty so for most part you can't just use ildasm, update the il, and use ilasm which is possible with most other obfusctors.

I'm sure some of the members of this community can crack applications protected by Salamander as well but the bar is a lot higher!
