Dear Friends:

Can we encrypt a method in C# like T-sql?

For example in T-sql we can encrypt a view or stored procedure by inserting the code <<With Encryption>>. Do we have the same code in c# for encrypting a method?

1) What is is supposed to mean? 2) Why?
Encrypting normally means protecting some information. So, you should explain what exactly you want to protect (the algorithm from being learned, or to limit a possibility to reverse-engineer the code, or limit the possibility to call the method from some other application -- what exactly).

Dear Kryukov :

Thanks for your reply. I want to secure the algorithm from being learned.

I do not want somebody to extract my procedure.

Use Dotfuscator in VS
This will encrypt the dll or exe.

Hi,

I think thats not possible but it depends what you want to achieve.
If declaring your Method as Private isn't enough you should obfuscate your code (string/byte/...encryption).
Another crazy idea what I'm thinking about now is to write your method in a file and de/encrypt it when you want to use it, but I think it's not the best solution.

With best Regards
