I recently installed Dotfuscator 4.10 on my computer and I already has VS 2012 working on it. Everything worked fine up to the point when I tried Dotfuscator embedded in VS (I mean the standalone GUI app works perfectly).
Just for the try, I created a small solution (no TFS/VSS) with a C++ /clr app, a C++/clr dll and a C# app.
I then added a Dotfuscator project. To this project I added the output from the three dll/exe other projects.
When I tried to rebuild the solution, I was asked to save the .dotfuproj file. Strange and abnormal behaviour, the file should be saved automatically and without prompting me. OK, I chose to overwrite the existing file (what should have been done automatically after all.) I got the error Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I had to cancel the operation and could not build the solution.
Note that I observed the same behaviour if I tried to save the dotfuproj file under an other name. Also, the file is not R/O.
My question: has someone experienced this problem? Any solution? Thanks for your help!
You can try deleting your Dotfuscator project and then creating a new project. If that does not work, try using direct input to the Dotfuscator project, rather than using the output of another project within your solution.
