Identical binaries from same source code

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi,
I have to homologate my binaries so I need them to be byte-per-byte
identical after each compilation (if the source code is the same,
logically). Does anybody know how to achieve that with either compiler
options or modifying some parts of the binaries?
After some research I've succesfully patched:
- timestamp: in 0x88 address, I have set to zero.
- GUID after <PrivateImplementationDetails>: find this text in file
and set GUID to zero.
but there is an unknown data block after what I supose to be the
strings declarations and I don't know what to do with. In some cases,
setting it to 0's works but in other application hangs. I cannot find
a generic way to clean it.
I need to do that automatically for generic binaries of .NET.

Thanks in advance.
.
