Thanx for the responses Mark and Jon Secure by design is great and that's what we strive for BUT when you are working with .Net at the end of the day the executables are very reverse compileable. I'm just looking for some firsthand knowledge since I've only found a few side by side comparisons of existing software and a lot of "reviews" that sound more like a sales pitch then a review. I think that Dotfuscator is the defacto standard and best in show but it is also really expensive and I wanted to know if it was worth the dollars.
