Most of my user base are ages 9-14 so they are not tech sauvy

Thanks alot PlausiblyDamp those were very informitive...however most of them seem to be more about the logistics of prevents people from gettings your source "Its pointless todo so because if they really try they can no matter what" My problem is I am not afraid of the high end reverse engineer hacker out there I am afraid of the 13 year old with the trial version of reflector who wants to easily embed some keylogger source he found of pscode into my application. All I want todo is make it 'harder' to get the actual source back. One of the threads had something about shoving the .net assembly into a vb6 executable or some such and then some how running it that way? Is that possible as that would suit my needs

Is it possible to some how compile .NET assembly files into native code, in a way that can be distributed? I want todo this in order to protect my source from being decompiled. I would try to obfuscate but I simply cannot aford any of them and the one included in VS Pro is simply not upto par. I don't really want todo this because my code is that awesome or original is the fact that there are parties I have been made aware of that would decompile and attach some kind of trojan or keylogger to my application, and then start distributing it, and the users would not know the difference becausse its still my code...
