Hi Vikram,

Our Decompiler.NET product will generate obfuscated code which you can
recompile and fully supports remoting and reflection as well as other
COM Interop issues. You can download a free trial version and try it
out for yourself at http://www.junglecreatures.com/ Our obfuscator is
the only product that allows you to tweak the obfuscated code if you
like and recompile it, or relink it with other assemblies.
