Lost saved code after Visual C# Express crashed

Just want to rant about something horrible that happened to me tonight.
It was my first time using the new Visual C#. I started a new project,
coding away continuously for about 6 hours. I saved and executed my
code multiple times. I'd assume the source files are saved safely
somewhere, but I was wrong... My computer crashed and I had to reboot
it, without saving the project (the .sln file). When I started my
computer, the project and the code no longer not existed. Searched my
system, confirmed that it's gone. I cannot tell you how frustrated I am
right now. Turn out if you don't save the project, they discard your
code or the changes you made to your code even though you've saved your
code a million times. I think this is a major functionality flaw in the
new Visual Express. It should not give us a way to save the file
without actually saving it. I am thoroughly depressed. I am going to
get a drink before I redo my work. If anyone knew how to recover the
files, please please please let me know.

Thank you for listening.

Yes I noticed this as well. Maybe you can start a new project, type a few
lines then hit save, and see where the temporary files have been created. Or
make it a habit to hit save all.

Or check in
