Obfiscation as part of "Release" Build?

[gregory_may]

Is it possible to Obfuscate the Release build of my application as part of
the compile/automatically?

Thanks!

Hi,

Is it possible to Obfuscate the Release build of my application as part of
the compile/automatically?

you'll need a tool for that. Check out FinalBuilder: www.finalbuilder.com

Cheers,

It depends on the obfuscator. Some of them provide integration in the IDE
and the build process, others work as external tools. AFAIK, the Community
Edition of Dotfuscator does not allow it, the Standard edition too, but the
Professional edition does.

Alternatively you can use a .bat file to build and obfuscate, or a special
builder (www.finalbuilder.com and others).
