    Do a search on MSDN and you'll get a heap of results relating to Dotfuscator, which is the obfuscation utility that comes with VS.

    Dotfuscator is weak and easily decoded. Do a search here in the vb.net forum by kleinma's username and Dotfuscator. He had
    posted some links to some better utilities for this.

    I have found this product to be the best by far as code security is concerned with .Net. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most pricey ones.
