Can I compile C# DLL to native Code

I have a C# Desktop app.

I load a C# DLL into this app via reflection methods.

Is there a way to compile this DLL into native code?

The ultimate aim is to protect my DLL the best way I can. I know it will not be 100% proof but I just want to not make it easy to do so.

Thanks
