Is it possible to look inside a .dll? The reason I'm asking is I've
hard-coded a something inside a .dll and I want to make sure it is secure.
 
You mean a regular DLL or a .NET DLL. Both can be viewed, but .NET provides
an easy way to investigate the contents of a method. The SDK comes with a
disassambler program, and there are also tools such as Reflector
(http://www.dnzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=31) which does a nice job of
actually decompiling the code.

In other word, if you have secrets, they should not be placed the code
unless you don't care if it is discovered.
 
Thanks for the information.
