Hi,

I have developed a windows application and now want to make a demo for it.

What is the secure way of making demo?
I used MS-Sql as back end and c#.net as front end.

Thanking you

You mean to make a trial version that cannot be reverse-engineered?

Create a video or powerpoint presentation.

.Net assemblies can easily be decompiled by tools like http://www.red-gate.com/products/dotnet-development/reflector/[^].

Even if you obfuscate the code, breaking a reasonable "protection" mechanism seems to be quite easy for those who put their mind to it.

Steinberg has tried really hard to protect their software (cubase and friends). Did it help?

It's either that or trust that the majority of the users is honest, and implement a simple protection mechanism.
