I'm sorry but there is no way you can retrieve the source code of any compiled language from its executable file unless the programming language is written by a penguin or something.
However, you can try disassembling the executable file which will give you the Assembly instructions used by the compiler to compile the source file into an executable. Therefore, unless you know Assembly, there is no way you can see what is going on in the code. I'm sorry.

It does not work that way. All your variables, systems calls, etc are converted to a human unreadable binary format I have seen a program that can convert binary to one of the C languages, but the machine-made code is very hard to understand as all the variables and system references are lost and the code because very illegible. Not to mention doing that is very illegal. People have been fined hundreds of thousands of dollars and thrown in jail for year for doing such a thing.

If it's VB, you can try decompilers, your mileage may vary. If it's .net, then you're in luck, get a tool called Reflector, you can get all of your source code back from the exe.

No you cannot.
Even by dissasembling it.. you will not recover actual source code..
best you could do is get its syscall behavior and some opcodes in ASM
Sorry!
Hope it helps

As far as i know there is not. if it was possible to convert exe to source code. we would do it with all the applications and would be able to find their weak point and hack them or modify them.

try to download for DECOMPILERS. but i dont assure that the full code is there but the logic of your codes would be the same of that with the decompiled version.

I don't think that u can recover.
