I remember this too. Actually I (maybe incorrectly)think release builds contained it too. You used to have to actively obfuscate to make sure it was protected.

- junon 3y agoThat could be, actually. I don't know if it was release or just debug, but I remember obfuscation tools definitely being a thing, in large part because of this.
- orphea 3y agoMSIL is easily decompiled back to C# (or VB.NET if you prefer), it has always been a thing, yes. But binaries never included the source code.
- junon 3y agoI am perfectly aware of what IL decompilation is. I've written a decompiler before before. That's not what was happening.
