All .NET code compiles down to MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language), NOT processor specific code like a traditional .EXE.

It doesn't matter what tool was used to create it nor what language it was written in.

You can decompile the .NET executable back to some semblance of the original source no matter what language it was written in.

Obfuscators just make the resulting decompiled code harder to read and understand. They don't normally prevent the decompile operation.
