How safe is it to store critical data in your code in VB.NET? How can someone break into your .exe file -decode it- and read that data? Ofcourse you all know that some can break into everything but i dont mean those ppl, i mean average users.

We had a thread running about this. Maybe that will help you.
Thanks, useful thread, but as Edneeis said in that thread, when using encrypted file, where to store the string key?
And here comes ILDASM, are other languages this easy to decmpile?
Well, there where no concrete answers in that thread, more recommendations. But I think it all comes down to doing it as hard as possible for the hackers.
No disrepect to the people that posted their ideas of course, that was not what I meant. It just felt like for every solution in that matter there where another problem. Unfortunately that's what it all comes down to I think.
