    In these cases its best to strip your assembly back to basics, ie build it with zero obfuscation. Then, turn things on one by one until it breaks. This gives you both a point at which you can release (ie breakage - 1 step), and highlights what obfuscation type might be causing it.

    Thank you , yes i did it and the issue appeared after i select obfuscation step. Cause we use jollan tool for language translation and this tool produce Dll resources and the exception appeared after the language form appear and before the load of the main application. 

    just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

    Ok, if you're still having issues with this it might be best to send a reproduction into support so it can be looked into.

    Look , the main reaon for this issue is (obfuscation process) cause i use third party DLL's (for languages)

    and the output is Resources.dll come from (.resx) files.

    These resourced loaded in load page then after encryption they did a crash as i mentioned above.

    and till now i cannot exclude any class or DLL from being obfuscated since it takes long time and crashes when i log in to that page using your tool

    We would need a reproduction to investigate further.

    Assembly causing your C# application to fail, follow these steps:
    1. Ensure proper configuration.
    2. Review error messages.
    3. Verify version compatibility.
    4. Backup your project.
    5. Check obfuscation rules.
    6. Use debugging tools.
    7. Seek Redgate support if needed.
    8. Temporarily disable Smart Assembly for testing.

    It will be a great help for me.

    You can check your cache that is preventing your app from running. Or you can use our blog to see the other settings recommended for this.
