Encrypting the source code

[Mohammad Samara]

Hello everybody,

I have deployed an ASP.NET application for one of our clients, is there a
way to hide or encrypt the source code of the application (C# code behind)
from being diplayed by anyone else?

Thanks.

something called an obsufcator can make it very hard to decompile compiled
code.. there is a free version with VS.NET Enterprise that i know of.. maybe
other versions have one also.

Obfuscators make it harder to decompile .NET IL into C#
code.

Check the http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/csharp/tools/
website for list of useful tools.

Warm regards,
