.NET and keeping my source code to myself...

I'm sure this has been discussed here plenty of times before (feel free
to point me to the thread!) but I want to learn as much as possible
about the single most talked about issue with .NET development.
Disassembly into source code and preventing that from happening!

Thinstall (thinstall.com) - I own it from previous projects (non - .NET)
but don't have faith that it can single handedly protect my source code.

What can I do to help, and what level of *real* protection can I get
with the obfuscators and other protection tools that are out there? Is
there any single solution to this problem?

Thanks!
