Why are most (all?) Obfuscation-tools targeting C # and other C languages and not VB?
I don't know if I'm right, but almost every time I read about obfuscation and the tools that handle it, and then about C #, Java, Javascript, and all other languages except VB.
As far as I can see it is tantamount to me as a VB developer to protect my code as a C # developer. Did I miss something?
Please don't cry if it's somehow obvious why, but I missed it.
Thank.

If you mean VB.NET, it can be confusing in the same way as C #, since obfuscators work on assemblies, not source code. Since C # and VB.NET compile to (almost) the same IL, it will work with both of them.

The default VB.NET is Obfuscation = true.
This is a joke. Relax. I couldn't help myself. vimpyboy nailed it.
