You can google for 'Obfuscation .Net', you will get lot many sources.

My suggestion for tool:

Even Visual studio also have inbuilt obfuscator with limited functionality.
Hope I answered your question.

The Community Edition of Dotfuscator, which is included with VS, is free but only provides limited protection. See:

Before you buy a commercial obfuscator, I'd read this article:

http://jcooney.net/post/2010/06/06/The-sad-(but-inevitable)-state-of-NET-Obfuscation.aspx

If you just want to prevent casual inspection of your .NET assembly, then I'd use the 'free' Community Edition of Dotfuscator which Shweta mentioned.

If I understood your question correctly, you want to prevent anyone from viewing the information of your DLL or Exe. If I am correct then, Obfuscation is the answer.
