Has anyone ever heard of the original lines of code being retrieved from a dll? In other words is it safe to transfer a dll to someone else and not have to worry about the risk of them retrieving your source code.

thanks.

Unless your DLL contains National security or similar I wouldn't bother.
Somebody could disassemble the code and figure out the internals of the DLL (In Assembly language though), but getting a detailed picture of the DLL internals as you have when writing the code in C/C++ is not really possible.
