can dll be compiled to aot ?

Question

Can the DLL Library be aot and can not be decompiled by dnSpy or other tools?

like c++ DLL?

Answer 1

while you can compile a library to AOT. There are restrictions on what code the library executes, limited reflection, etc. also the library is a native library, and will not have managed code entry points. you would use pinvoke to call methods in the library just like any native library.

note: typically you use would an obfuscator for your needs. google for the best options.
