Best Free Obfuscator for .Net code

Question

I was looking for a free Obfuscator tool for .NET 2.0 & 3.5.

I have checked out DotFuscator Community Edition. But that is limited to renaming. Does anyone knows of a similar tool with better obfuscation features on offer??

I tried to download the Aspose Obfuscator but the link is directing to Aspose Product Categories page, where the Obfuscator is not listed.

Hi Yasser, I have just checked out XHEO's CodeVeil webpage. I must say the feature list if impressive. However, it might take sometime now, before I have the chance to download & test CodeVeil.
