hi all... i am beginning the design phase of creating a component that will be shipped to clients for my company... the component will contain functions that interact with a data server... my question is a bit general, what are the security concerns when using a component to do these things (query a dataserver)?... we don't want our clients to even know the address of the server, much less it's design and contents, but i know that anyone could easily view a dll in notepad and decipher some of the information, such as an ip address, etc., or is there a way to prevent this?...

thanks in advance!
