Reflection WPF .net

When protected my WPF .net application crashes on this line:
Code: Select all
XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(p.GetType());
Is that because Enigma obfuscates the code and reflection doesn't work ? That said
Code: Select all
MessageBox.Show(p.GetType().ToString());
Shows the expected type name
Cheers,
Chris.

Hi Chris,
This can be fixed by generating the serialisers using sgen.exe as a Post Build Event
“$(FrameworkSDKDir)\Bin\sgen” /a:"$(TargetPath)" /force
It generates a dll ({ProjectName}.XmlSerializers.dll) that makes it work. It can be included in the Virtual Box then.

That's it thanks.
Note 64 bit and .net 4.0 users will need to use the correct path:
Code: Select all
“$(FrameworkSDKDir)\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\sgen” /a:"$(TargetPath)" /force

Is it allowed to disable obfuscation of a .NET assembly if using 3rd party obfuscator?
Btw, is obfuscation feature missing from the demo?

Enigma Protector does not allow to obfuscate .net code, so it is even recommended to use some obfuscator before protection.
As per experience, there was not reported any incompatibility of Enigma Protector with any 3rd obfuscation tools.
