    Chance of DECODING VB.NET assembly

    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.

    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.
