Hi guys,

I'm into evaluating and my first time using your Telerik winforms, and reporting components for my upcoming project for the coming year, my question is how can I protect your control from external forces ("IT professionals" in that company) after deploying it? Well, I don't want "them" to copy the telerik dll from my application coz "they" might copy, use and worst, sell it.

Hope to answer my question.

Many Thanks,
Jouie

Hello Jouie,

This topic from the reporting documentation describes a way you can protect the Telerik assemblies.

For added security, I also suggest taking a look at using a .net obfuscator. You can find several of them listed here:

Hello Robert,

The Telerik WinForms suite has a special API that allows you to merge the WinForms assemblies. For additional information, please refer to the following knowledge base article: ILMerge Telerik WinForms assemblies.

All the best,
