I have yet to meet an obfuscator which doesn't convert enums in code to an unreadable form: the exception is the text names which are needed as part of the enum for using in ToString and Enum.Parse operations, which have to return the enum text or your application could fail.

So if you have used a particular obfuscator and it doesn't hide the names in your code, it's possible you are expecting something that obfuscation can't give you!
