C# project lost, anyways to recover it?

Question

After a hard drive disaster, my main partition had been formatted. As a result, my C# project ( a small management software) was lost. However, I have copied its DEBUG folder in to my USB ( for testing it in another computer). So, is there anyways for me to recover the lost project or I have to start again?

Answer 1

It's not easy. You can use Reflector to recover the source, but resources and the like are harder. I have a step-by-step on my blog that works for some (most?) Windows Forms projects.

P.S. Use source control. There's free SVN hosts (and probably Mercurial/Git, too), even for commercial projects...
