I know that I tried to decompile my own application when it came from debug , and decompiling was possible , but when i did publish , it couldn't be decompilable... But I doubt if it's always like that.. or maybe I'm just stupid :P
It's extension is something like ".exe.IDK"
You don't actually need to install the program through the setup that the publish does, just re-name the files in the application folder to make it work without the installer
That way you can de-compile it, and any dynamic link libs came with it
And when you install it through the installer, it will be on your computer at a specific location, just track it down and you can still de-compile it
I dont recomend using publish, just grab the files from build and obfuscate
