I am using both VS 2003 and VS 2005. Yes I tried obfuscating a CF program
which uses the SQL assemblies.
I am using the Community Edition v1.1.1019.14017.

i think the Dotfuscator that come with the vs.net 2003, not support the
Net
Compact Framework.only the PRO version.

did you try a net compact framework application ?
are you using the vs.net 2003 ?

thanks for the help.

I just tried it on my machine using the version of Dotfuscator that comes
with VS.NET 2003 which uses SqlClient namespaces and don't get the error
you are getting.
What version of Dotfuscator are you using?
Do you want to send me your assembly and i'll see if I can obfuscate it
here.

Simon.

hi Simon.

i need freeware tool.
the Dotfuscator that come with the vs.net is enough for me and free.
i only want it to change the public/private methods names.

but i got this error:
System.IO.FileLoadException: The given assembly name or codebase,
'System.Data.SqlServerCe', was invalid.
File name: "System.Data.SqlServerCe"


what do you :
"Are you trying to obfuscate the signed assembly SqlServerCe?"

i had the reference to the SqlServerCe, this in the vs.net folder.

any idea what to do ?

Hi Tony,

I've had many "funnies" with Dotfuscator that comes free with VS.NET.

Are you trying to obfuscate the signed assembly SqlServerCe?

I recommdend looking at other obfuscating tools, there are many much
better than Dotfuscator.

See if this link helps:
