Obsfucator opinions ?

Caroline

I've searched, and it's been a while since someone posted a message about
obfuscators. I wanted to know opinions on the best obfuscators available
right now for .NET CF. Also was anybody able to use Dotfuscator
successfully?
Thank you.

Try Xenocode - http://www.xenocode.com - the cheap one is $99 US and
works well. Good luck.

It has numerous problem however. For example, setting max on control flow
causes a crash (XC 2005). i reported the problem, they replied that they
know, but I didn't sense a "Gee, that sucks, we'd really better fix it"
attitude - hopefully they do patch it soon. I have used it successfully
though. Dotfuscator kept crashing on me with CF (ages ago). I wrote to
them and they kept trying to sell it to me even though it was clear that is
was broken. Recently however, one person there has sent me constructive
emails, but I have been too busy to spend time on (re)testing their
software.

So, no one obfuscator for CF is perfect. You need to decide what works for
you and what doesn't. Some break, and need work-arounds, some *expand* the
size of your EXE instead of making it smaller, etc etc etc...
