Default Problem with Dotfuscator, what's wrong with my code?


I'm trying to obfuscate my project with Dotfuscator, but I have a serious problem.


Please, look at this example:

Code:
Public Class Engine Dim MyConstants As New ProgConstants() Public Function ExampleFunction() As String MsgBox(MyConstants.TheFunction) End Function End Class

Code:
Public Class ProgConstants Public Function TheFunction() As String Return ' something..... End Function End Class


If I normally compile and run the project, all works fine. But if I "obfuscate" the assembly .exe with Netfuscator, I get an error when executing the function ExampleFunction telling me that the "TheFunction" method in the class "sg" (apparently the class has been renamed) could not be found.

What's wrong with my code?

Solved.

I had to use:
Code:
[B]Private[/B] MyConstants As New ProgConstants()

instead of:
Code:
Dim MyConstants As New ProgConstants()


It's very, very strange that "Dim" (which is obviously wrong in this case) is accepted...
