I see a lot of things on this forum. I see a lot of people posting code from something i don't know. Seems as if its un compiled? Is there a decompiler or something?

Is there a list somewhere. I have a few things i want to decompile (things i made and lost source to) like my torpia toolbar i made a while back. i found my app i uploaded somewhere. now i have to update it. but i forgot to save on my flash. (i formatted harddrive... ) sucks for me. I can just start over. But i rather just fix my bugs. and move on to new project. alwell. Is there a decompiler for C++, VB6, VB.net and C#???

I know google is my friend... LOL i get that alot but a lot of stuff i tend to get viruses from... LOL

Downloading everything you find on Google is not the smartest of things to do. Get things from trusted sources, and even then, don't trust it. Debug anything you are planning to use that isn't professionally made and do research before using things to help reduce the risk of getting a virus.

If you are incapable of doing that, use online scanners or get a virus scanner.

As for decompilers, not every language has one, some do not have anything that will fully decompile back to the original code etc. so you are left to fill in the blanks.

C/C++ you can disassemble and debug but not fully decompile.
VB5/6 has some decompilers, but, you will never get fully usable code.
VB.NET / C# you can use Reflector if the file is not obfuscated or altered.

Other then that debugging and reversing is your next best bet to rebuilding lost code. Or just start from scratch.
