Hi

Thanks all but I couldn't get it to work, I don't whether I was

expecting too much!

I've FTP'd the whole site down including DLLs to my local disk what I

was hoping was Reflector and File Disassembler would scan this folder

and create a new vs project ready to recompile.

The Reflector said it has processed several files but didn't seem to

show much other than.

At this point in time I don't really want to know what the code does,

I'm looking to just give the customer a CD backup of the source. If they

want me to maintain it I guess they'll have to pay !

Am I missing something?

Cheers

Graham

They did a video on this because they stated years ago that this would

be FREE as in beer.

Stated that they needed to commit real resources to the product and

those had to be reimbursed.

It is a killer tool and should be in every VS developers toolbox.

I hav not looked at the version yet because I have only on occasion to

need it. My source for a service is not thee same as true service in

production type of thing. I love how you can get the entire code out

of the .dll in an easy copy ans paste and then you can compare what

you have to what is in the .dll in Q.
