Re: How to get the source code of a Visual Basic .EXE file

I'll let the PC experts give the definitive answer, but I think the answer
is no for any newer version of VB. The default is to compile to machine
code, and that makes the decompilation process pretty difficult. I think
there are some products out there that make a claim, but I dunno how good
they are.

Hi list:

I have a program (.exe) that was developed using Visual Basic. The
compiler and source code is gone from the laptop it was developed in and I
only have the executable.

Is it possible to get the source code from the .EXE object?
