  • Windows Forms? Then it's a .NET program, right? In that case, use an obfuscator. – Mr Lister Jan 13 '13 at 15:29
  • Simple answer is no - unless you stand behind the person that you gave the program to. – Ed Heal Jan 13 '13 at 15:30

If you want to protect it to a certain point from decompilation you can always use some protection software like an obfuscator or encrypter.

There is a vast number of products that can do this varying in price (from free to very expensive), complexity and implementation.

  • Hello McKracken, i have try using a Obfuscator program to protect my Visual-C++ Application but it says "Is not a valid .NET assembly." I tried on a C# Application and it works great? Does a Obfuscator program only work on C# Application and not on C++? – Coolman699 Jan 13 '13 at 19:21
  • There is a bunch of different obfuscators, some of them work only on .NET projects. Which one did you try? And please, give more details on how your project is done and what you want to achieve. – McKracken Jan 13 '13 at 19:37
