Transform part of codes into native images

[Dotnetjunky]

Hello,

When compiling our programs, how can we make certain methods compiled
straight into native codes so that they cannot be decompiled ?

Thanks in advance.

Use a compiler that can produce native code (like Managed C++), or find a
third-party product that can do this. C#, VB.NET and the .NET Framework
have no inbuilt ability to do this.

Native code can be decompiled anyways, so....

With decompilers (use google). Also, don't underestimate the power of
dissassembly.

It really depends on what your goal is. "Preventing decompilation" isn't
much of a goal. The goal is most likely "preventing cracking of this
program", "preventing theft of special algorithms", etc. If you define what
you're really worried about it goes a long way.
