Does Dotfuscator CE work with CF 2

Does Dotfuscator Communit Edition work with CF 2.0? If so, what is
the secret to getting it to work? My VB.NET compiled app works fine.
But after I obfuscate, all I get is an 2 second hourglass on the
device, then nothing. Thanks for any insight you have.

I've had poor luck with it, plus it's too hamstrung (unable to use it on
signed assemblies at all). We use Xenocode internally.

This is something from a colleage of mine who works with obfuscation ...
evidently it is a known issue w/ dotfuscator and signed assemblies so there
is a documented process to unsign/obfuscate/ and then re-sign.

Dotfuscator does "unsign" the assembly by default. You can tell it where to
find the key and tell it to auto-re-strongname after it's done but I found
that it didn't always find the key. So we manually re-strong name
everything after obfuscation, via a command in hte BuildConfig script.

This is fairly well documented in Dotfuscator - how to tell it to
auto-re-strongname...

[SIZE=+1]As an alternative, consider Crypto Obfuscator which supports all versions of the Compact Framework and has many settings for protection and obfuscation of CF assemblies.
