Does it have to be free?

Sorry, not possible. At least you know how the .Net framework works before you spend a ton of time developing in it.

See one of my previous posts on this topic (second time I linked to it today!).

What Chris is most likely referring to is Salamander.Net which offers a protector (which encrypts your binaries but you can still grab your source when they're decrypted during execution) or their Decompiler which will compile your application into "native code". That's $1099 for one person.

Compiling into native code is the best solution but it can still be decompiled; only it decompiles into assembly so it's a pain in the ass to get the original code (basically impossible). The only problem is you lose many benefits of the .Net framework and it's manageability.

So this means we can get the source code for Windows Live Writer etc. all the .NET built Microsoft apps. This had crossed my mind but never asked.

It really comes down to what you have to hide. Is your source code really so secret that it actually matters if someone else sees it? Do you have secret algorithms that you must protect? If so then you'll presumably spend the money on an industrial strength obfuscator. You might also use a tool that recompiles your code into a native application, thus losing some of the benefits of managed code. You might also use something like CodeVeil, which does not create native code but encrypts your .NET application. These are all expensive tools but if your source code is so secret then it must be valuable so it's an investment.
