 Hi Gustav --

Thank you for your "more gentle wind to reach Russia next year" wishes!

Yes, "Wind of Change" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUUGfs3s_4Y) (round two) would be very helpful here, and hopefully distant memories will be buried in the past truly forever this time...
They (local media) say here that Scorpions are planning to celebrate their 50 anniversary in St.Petersburg, Russia on 25th of May 2015 ( http://www.baltinfo.ru/2014/12/18/Gruppa-Scorpions-otmetit-50-letie-v-Peterburge-468114 ) but I do not see that date in Scorpions' official tour schedule ( http://www.the-scorpions.com/english/tourdates.asp ). We will see...

Happy New Year!

>>That sounds very clever indeed. When (if ever) I reach the level writing golden code, I may consider spending the $800.

>>I have tried the 'Smart Assembly' (obfuscation) tool (  ) - it's just great. And it's actually not only obfuscation tool but it has other useful features as e.g. making a single assembly from the main exe and its dependent dlls. I have tried it and it worked flawlessly for me for my customer application having main executable and a dozen of dependent DLLs.

>>>You can watch their short demonstration video (3+ min) at the above URL - they are able to obfuscate not only classes/methods/properties/.... names but also actual control flow, string values - obfuscated that way .NET assemblies can't be reverse-engineered by existing tools as .Net Reflector etc.
