API Key in publicly available .NET app

I've written a marginally useful app so I can upload pictures to my smugmug account from a command line, via REST and HttpWebRequest. I'm planning on putting the app and the source code onto http://www.codeplex.com in the next couple of days, but I have a question on my API Key.
Since it's trivially easy to extract the API key from a compiled .NET application, should I use a key for my own development, and then put a different API Key in the release version? Does it matter? I suppose I could run something like dotfusticator, but that's a hassle, and I'd rather not.
Any thoughts or comments?
