Hard drive failure recently caused me to loose a little data that hadn't
been backed up yet. One of the things was a small custom web control I was
writing -- not very fancy, but it took me all day, and I don't have the
time to rewrite it. I didn't obfuscate the code -- is it possible to recover
some semblance of the source? The DLL is only 4K in size.
Thanks

You can use the IldAsm.exe tool that comes with the .Net platform to view
the MSIL in the DLL or executable. that's not exactly your source code, but
with some work, you might be able to rebuild the source code from the MSIL.

There are some decompilers available for free, you can google for them. One
is called Anakrino. You can at least get something that way.

Hello Mike,
You could take a look at .NET Reflector [1], which provides the functionality
you're looking for. Granted, the source doesnt have the same variable names
inside the methods and some blocks (ie: foreach and using) will be completely
expanded, but the code will be there.

I second Matt's nomination.
There is a nifty plugin for Reflector named FileDisassemble r that can
be used to dump the decompiler output to files of any Reflector
supported language (C#, VB.NET, Delphi). http://www.denisbauer.com/NETTools/

Matt,
You might be interested in our commercial Decompiler.NET product. We do
retain local variable names when you have the pdb files, and we include
better optimizations than other decompilers so we do find foreach,
using, lock statements, etc. We also include obfuscation features and
some automatic refactoring capabilities. You can download a free trial
version from our web site at http://www.junglecreatures.com/

Hi all
I have (my mistake) overwritten the beginning of a file where a long
dictionary was pickled with another (pickled and much smaller) dictionary.
Since only 10% or so of the original and important data was overwritten, I
would be happy if I could somehow recover at least the part that I can
still see.
The situation is now the following. If I open the file in vi I can see :

I come from Oracle background. In Oracle, when one wants to do a point
in time
recovery, one can specify recover database until timestmap. Oracle's
database maps to a db2 subsystem, i.e., in Oracle database means
entire database, i.e.. all tablespaces (including indexes).
I see only recover tablespace and recover indexspace (or index)
commands in db2.
Therefore, one has to specify all the tablespaces and indexspaces and
recover them

Hello,
I have an emergency question - it was just determined that our backups were
incomplete, and we do not have the source code for an application we
developed (due to some system delete, and the bad backups)! We do, however
still have the EXE modules.. is there a way I can somehow recover the source
code from the exe?!?!
Thanks!

I lost my laptop as well as my backup server. I am wondering if there is a
way to step through the code without the source code, but only with the dll
and pdb (which are compiled in debug mode) through vs.studio at all? I do
have these files as they are stored on a remote site for testing.
Any idea? thanks in advance.

I have been testing the db2 recover command on a DB2 V8.2 Linux
database. The database contains a single partition. I am not
archiving logs but retaining them on disk. the backup image is to
disk as well. I performed the following in order :
1. OFFLINE BACKUP <time#1>
2. Create table S.T (c1 smallint)
3. Insert several rows into S.T - values 1,2,3,4,5
4. ONLINE BACKUP <time#2>
5. Insert several more rows 6,7,8,9

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
