We have several ASP.NET applications which reuse many projects. Let's say
Solution/App A contains projects p1, p2, p3 and Solution/App B contains projects p2, p3, p4
We try obfuscating all projects in both applications and neither work. When we obfuscate p1, p2 in application A then it works. But we can happily obfuscate p3 and p4 in app B and that also works.
So, sometimes we can obfuscate p3 and sometimes we can't. It's a solution level issue, but our question is WHY? What things should be avoided or looked at to get more consistent obfuscation behavior?
Thanks
Edit 1
"What defines the project not working?" Typically I get some kind of DLL issue, hinting it no longer understands the references properly somewhere (often an external DLL which is being embedded instead of merged and obfuscated). As such, it errors on start up normally.
