I have a .NET application. When I obfuscated the assembly, namespace, class name and application event handlers ( like a button click event handler) does not get obfuscated. I have tried it with 2 different obfuscation productions but it seem like same behaviour. Is it normal to not obfuscated namespaces, class names and application event handlers?
Typically, public/protected members are not obfuscated because there is chance that they may get referenced by external applications – it appears to be case here (assuming that event handler is protected scope). So generally, Obfuscator tool offers option to obfuscate them as well as – check the tool documentation – for example, Dotfuscator Community Edition 4.0 has library mode that will not obfuscate public/protected members.
