It looks like nothing is perfect. But at least a protection (ReFox, KonXise or any other mean) is still better than no protection at all.

Like Jos said anybody that really wants to get the source code will find a way.

I'm also looking for the best way to protect my app. A way that could be good is to replace method names, property names...

In short replace everything meaningful by something meaningless.

Example replace the method name "ComputeTheTaxes" by "AA1". I remember someone on the UT mentioning that this is what he was doing. But I don't remember who said that.

And then after that renaming you protect the EXE with ReFox or your selected protection tool. As an end result you'll have a fair enough protection. One that'll discourage basic hackers wannabees. And for those that really want to work hard to get the source code they'll get something like

do form SK2 with ad4, CF5

Who would be brave enough to try to understand this. I'll give it to you that this can still be worked out but the additional complexity will probably discourage many.
