I think it is Serious matter

here is a site that give the source code of your executable application . just select your exe that has been done under .NET Framework, and see your source code .

it is serous problem .

what do you think .

note that the whole code will appear after registering.

Mmm very interesting, but not sure how to take it, or whether lil ole me would worry about it, supose the big boys would tho.

 

I thought this a weird comment to make tho by ASP.NET Pro

 

Don't worry about your customer sharing your software's source code with his or her buddy. That person was probably too cheap to buy a copy from you anyway. Reputable companies ensure that they have licenses for all of their software. Chasing software pirates is like chasing ghosts.

 

Especially the being too cheap..

 

This argument could be used for anything from a £14 piece of software to VS.NET 2003!

 

Like I'm only using it cos work bought it for me. If I was Joe Bloggs on my own, I probably not have any version of VS.NET. So if I was never going to buy a copy, MS haven't lost anything, so no harm in having a pirate copy then...apart from the morality of it of course!

the problem is when you deploy your application > somebody take it or buy it > decompile it > add some features to it > own it.

I thought this was already well known? You can decompile, but theres no comments, the variable names are a bit messed up, and formatting is a pile of glob.

 

If you're really paranoid, use a/the Dotfuscator.

 

Who's really going to pay $1K for this anyway?

Many people is paying for it, if not this guys wouldn't exist don't you think???, anyway, decompiling has been always a problem with Microsoft's languages, the best thing you can do is somehow encrypt your code while compiling. Use Dotfuscator that comes with VS .NET 2003
