MSBuild

DeepSea Obfuscator comes with an MSBuild <DeepSeaObfuscation> task found in DeepSea.MSBuild.dll assembly in the program files folder.

This task is typically used in the Visual Studio integration, but can also be used outside Visual Studio.

Task parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
Assemblies	Items	Array of task items specifying all assemblies that should be obfuscated.	True
References	Items	Array of task items specifying all assemblies used as reference assembly in on the the obfuscated assemblies.	False
DstDir	directory	The output directory.	False
ReferenceFolders	directories	Directories in which reference assemblies are searched.	False
MapDir	directory	The directory where the obfuscation map is written to.	False
MapFile	file	File name and folder of the obfuscation map. This setting overwrites the MapDir attribute.	False
ConfigFile	file	File name and folder of an external configuration file. The external configuration is used in additional to obfuscation attributes found in the assemblies.	False
InputMapFiles	file(s)	File name and folder of an input map file(s). Input map files are used to rename types & members to the same name for each obfuscation. Typically used to deploy partial updates.	False
KeyFile	file	Strong name key used to re-sign strong named assemblies.	False
KeyPassword	password	Password of strong name key (for pfx keys)	False
SignFile	file	Code signing certificate used to sign the obfuscated assemblies with.	False
SignPassword	password	Password of the code signing certificate.	False
Verify	None, All, IL, MD	Set the assembly verification mode. None: No verification All: Verify both IL and metadata. IL: Verify only IL MD: Verify only metadata.	False
XapExcludes	pattern	Exclude all assembly parts in a XAP file that match the given pattern from obfuscation. Multiple patterns can be separated by a semi colon ';'.	False
XapIncludes	pattern	Include all assembly parts in a XAP file that match the given pattern in the obfuscation process. Include overrides Exclude and default behavior. Multiple patterns can be separated by a semi colon ';'.	False
FailOnWarnings	bool	If true, the obfuscation will fail when error warnings are raised.	False
FailOnEvaluation	bool	If true, the obfuscation will fail when running in evaluation mode.	False
