Obfuscate Assembly and Reflection

Question

I want to obfuscate my assembly files (*.dll, *.exe) by Dotfuscator. my question is if I do this, can I still use classes and types that are in those assemblies

Answer 1

You can use System.Reflection on an obfuscated assembly, but since some of the point of obfuscation is to rename everything in the assembly into random and meaningless things, you can't do reflection on the same names and identifiers as you would in a non-obfuscated assembly. If you want to do reflection on an obfuscated assembly, you would need to do it in a way that aren't dependent on what types and members are named.
