Should you obfuscate a commercial .Net application?

Good day everyone.

I’m ready to release a small c# game, but I’ve heard that it is extremely easy to disassemble/decompile c# application if it is “deployed” as it is. So my question – what can I do to prevent, or at least make it harder for people to disassemble/decompile my application?

Is there more then one way? If so, what do you think is best?

UPD: As was pointed below using default obfuscator might pose some problem with reflections, because I use lua interpreter for ingame scripts.

Thanks in advance.

Visual studio contains the “Dotfuscator” (Tools->Dotfuscator Software Services in VS 2010) which obfuscates your code for you. It can pose certain problems if you implement reflection in your code, but it does give you options as to what you want it to do to your code, so there is some flexibility there as well.
