Prior to the release of Visual Studio 2003, Microsoft recognized the importance of providing .NET developers with basic protections against source code reverse-engineering. They chose PreEmptive Solutions to provide this capability. Since then, every release of Visual Studio has included a copy of Dotfuscator CE, a lite edition of the commercial-grade Dotfuscator product.
Dotfuscator CE is a baseline application hardening tool that should be used by .NET developers who want basic protection against reverse-engineering tools and techniques. Software producers who require the most robust code hardening capabilities upgrade to a commercial edition of Dotfuscator. Unsure which edition of Dotfuscator is right for you?
