Prevent people from using my dll's

[Brian Mitchell]

How do I prevent other people from using the dll's I create? I looked at
identity permissions but it looks like those are more for identifying an
assembly.

Any help would be great. Thanks!!

You have two chioces:

1. Create an activex with license and use the activex

2. You can encrypt the dll's with a command line compression program or a
compression library with a secret password. And then just before loading
the dll you can decrypt to a random temp file and load it. You can either
delete or leave the temp file since its name wont make any sence anyway.

Winrar is a good candidate. It has UNRAR library you can freely use.

Enjoy.

Hi Brian,

You could use a StrongNameIdentity LinkDemand, which will prevent
assemblies without a specific strong name from linking against your
assembly. If you then use a keypair that you keep private, nobody but you
will be able to link against this assembly.
