Under VS2008, I’m working on a solution containing various DLL project.
Is it possible to obfuscate the whole code?
I use ILMerge to merge my assemblies into one, then run that single assembly through the obfuscator of choice. ILMerge has an option to change all types to Internal – I use that flag to increase the obfuscator’s effectiveness. ILMerge works just fine on .NET 3.5 executables – I haven’t had a chance to test it with the beta bits of .NET 4 yet, however.
All of this can be done transparently by adding a post-build command to your final executable.
The obfuscator I use, by the way, is the free Babel Obfuscator.
