Running .net dotfuscator 4.0 (the one that comes with 2008)

Is it possible to run .net dotfuscator 4.0 (the one that comes with 2008) without user interaction?

Hi Miha,

If you mean Dotfuscator CE, then it automatically pops up a status dialog when finished (I assume this is probably designed to discourage people from using it in an automated setting.)

However, FB 6 has the new “Error Dialog Monitor” and GUI Automation features, and either feature could theoretically be used to automate clicking on the dialog. You’ll have to check if there’s a clause in the EULA about doing this, of course. :-).

Regards,

Angus

Hi Angus,

Yes, I mean CE and AFAIK it was like that before - it showed a popup splash notification which was workarounded by FB's Dotfuscator action automatically and the obfuscation run without user intervention.

Now, it won't automatically compile (obfuscate) unless one presses "play" button. BTW I am stuck with CE it due to my client's wishes.

Anyway, thanks for the info.

Hi Miha,

FinalBuilder has a “Show window” option on the dotfuscator action so that the window shows up for you to click on it, but AFAIK we’ve never been able to work around the dialog limitation, even in previous versions. Perhaps you were using a different edition of Dotfuscator before?

Regards,

Angus
