Is it possible to see the source code through the program debug database file. I lost the source code file but eventually I just have the exe and the pdb file, I am just wondering is there a possibility to get the source code through the pdb ?

Thanks,

re: Access Source Code using PDB file

You lost your own source code? You don't make backups (hourly) of something so vital?
Or you are trying to reverse engineer (hack) someone else's exe?

No unfortunately I lost the source code, I thought I made the backup but unfortunately there is nothing in that folder and my system got reimaged its my mistake to loose the source code. if this is not possible I have to recreate it my bad.
