Lighten up, Francis.

You can look into obfuscation, but it's probably not worth the trouble.

You have to obfuscate it...

basically, this operation will not prevent decompile, but the decompilation process will generate something more confusing, without the same name of methods, members, classes...

Visual Studio came with a third party program called Dotfuscator community Edition.

Free but limited if you have program and DLLs interacting.
A commercial version of this tools exists, but I quite sure it is not the only tool doing it.

And remember, since the obfuscation renames the methods, properties, ... .Net Reflection (for example used inside a PropertyGrid) may result in strange behavior.
Same for resources management.
