    Programs and decompilers

    Is their a way to make it so someone can't run your VB .NET program through a decompiler and get all the source code?

    I checked out 1 and I could see all the source code of a program I am currently making. From the names of things I've used to my functions, ect... so my question is.. why is it so easy for someone to look through the VB .NET source code and can you stop them?

    I use this. It isn't an encrypted, just an obfuscator. So it will make it a major pain for them to figure it out.

    Wait, it says Microsoft integrated a version of Dotfuscator in Visual Studio 2003 .NET which is what I have... where the hell is it?

    I'd rather not pay for a program just so people can't read my source code.

    also, if i am not wrong they only could see ur variable names because u were in debug mode, if in release mode their names would be all local1, local2, etc..
