Dotfuscator messing up Settings

[rbulph]

I have just started using dotfuscator. When I try to run the dotfuscated application it seems that none of the project settings (My.Settings) are recognised, and this causes an error. How do I fix this?

OK, I fixed this by excluding all the settings from obfuscation. But I now have a lot of problems with my application running in different ways when installed to how it does in development. For instance the splash screen freezes and cursors dont appear.

My feeling at the moment is that dotfuscator is useless and that I have no choice but to distribute my code non obfuscated.

At the end of the day is there anything in your code that is really worth obfuscating? Unless you have some really propriety algorithms that a 3rd party is likely to want to steal the benefits of obfuscation might be minimal compared to the trouble you are having getting it to work.

Yes, I am concerned about a 3rd party stealing the code. Im going to be very frustrated if its this easy for them to do it.
