Re: How to recover source code from a dll that's compiled in debug release

No. If you want to source, you could try reverse engineering the assemblies
using tools like Reflector, but that will not give you the exact code that
was used to compile with, only an interpretation since the compiler does
optimization and stuff.

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.
