Hello All,
I have a exe which has been made out of VB code.
Now, unfortunately I have lost the code and only exe exist.
Is there any way by which I can de-compile back to the original code? Please help this is very urgent.

Programs like vb-decompiler can do it, but you won't get back anything that looks like the "original code" unfortunately.

Unfortunately, when you compile something into a binary, decompiling the program will not yield any kind of workable code. You will get code, but it will be a mess to sort through and the concensus is that you would probably be better off re-writing the program.

You can't "decompile" a VB exe file into the source code - you have no symbols. (Programs that claim to "decompile" the exe give you something you can kind of figure out program flow from, but you can't "recompile" that junk into a running program. The last version of VB you could really decompile was VB3.) The best you can do is patch the exe file - which means you have to a VERY good asm analyst. If you're that good, it's MUCH easier to just write the program yourself. (You can disassemble the exe with debug - which seems to be missing from Vista.)

Like Adam P said! It doesn't work.
