Obfuscating.cs source in Visual Studio

Question

My company has an ASP.NET website (not a web application). All the tools we looked at only obfuscate the DLL or EXE (and not the source). We need a tool to obfuscate the source itself ( .cs ); preferably in Visual Studio. Changing the names of everything is not an option. Again, is there any source level obfuscator?

Answer 1

See our C # Obfuscator tool . Works with Souce files.

Answer 2

The first step is to refactor the built-in variables and methods (unless that degrades performance) and rename them to some random useless letters and numbers. I suggest using Resharper.

(nesting in this context means Resharper's built-in rephasing function)

Answer 3

I use intellilock to block the application and trick the code, it is not free, but it’s good.

Answer 4

Have you DotFuscator at DotFuscator with Visual Studio 2010? I do not know the required edition (MSDN gives only Ultimate), but I remember reading somewhere that Alvas.Audio uses it.

Like in Visual Studio 2012, I did not check, but when I install the development tools, I just install everything (even if I do not use it). Even if it is not, you must install it using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate (the trial version will work), uninstall everything except DotFuscator, and install Visual Studio 2012.
