recover project from dlls

[Vic]

I had developed a web project on my laptop and never checked the
solution into sourcesafe nor did i back up the project or any of the
supporting files. i have published it to a web server and it is
running smoothly.

my laptop crashed however and i cannot recover the solution - is there
any way to reverse engineer the code from the dll files?

Try opening them up in reflector. Should be able to at least see the code in
there.

Ray,

However you should ask yourself if that is worth to try, normally for a good
programmer it takes much less time than making it new, especially as you are
the original writter. That beside that wile using things as reflector you
get terrible maintebla code.

I agree, but he did ask and it IS an option.

Sure, if he wrote the site he can redo it, and maybe this will teach hm a
lesson, but...

Actually - I did not write it. My predecessor did and his hard drive
just happened to no longer function. We sent it to 2 different
companies to try and recover the data which they cannot. I will check
out this reflector option.

Is there any other solutions?
