Problem with dotfuscator

[form2]

I have a pocket pc graphical app with an extra form, form2,
to which I added a menu. I compile the program, which is
configured as 'debug'. The program works on ipaq ppc,
on emulator, and on desktop. Then I use dotfuscator standard
edition for visual studio and now the program works only
on emulator and desktop, but not on device, hourglass keeps
turning forever.
I must emphesise, there is no added code in my program, simply
what is a given from the wizard plus an added form as described
above, so maybee someone can recreate the setup. I could
have attached it to this post, by I don't know if I am supposed
to or not.

Hello,

Alternatively, you might want to check with XenoCode to see if it
solves your problem:

Well, here is my project, if someone wants to try.

If this link doesn't work, just cut n paste to the address field
sonce yahoo disables links to files, i.e. simply type the link
manually instead of clicking on it.

Well I tried you project obfuscated with XenoCode 2005 and it works
fine over here... Do you change the default XenoCode configuration
before processing it ?

What device did you test it on?

It seems to me like you are just trying to push your product
rather than answer any questions.

It seems obfuscator for CF have not matured as yet, better stick
with good old C unmanaged. There is something unmistakably
familiar, realible, and good about it.

I've use XenoCode successfully on a couple projects, and I have no ties to
them or benefit from saying so. I've been satisfied with it. The biggest
problems I ran into were when I obfuscated things that needed to be public,
like public functions, the assembly would not surprisingly crash. Though
that was a problem with the user, not the tool.

One of the best pieces of advise, I find, is to pray while obfuscating.
Dotfuscator and xenocode are nothing but erratic with CF.

Dell Axim X30. Since the .NET compact framework is already included, I
just copy the obfuscated app (no CAB deployment involved). Are you
using the preset for the compact framework?
