Hello

I already finished my project using C# for Windows CE Device.

I have the cab file and it is working good on my Windows CE Device, but unfortunately I lost the source code of this cab, and I have to do some changes to this project. It will be very difficult for me to start from scratch. I really forgotten many details and how I did many of them.

So can I extract my cab file and see my source code?

Your source code isn't in the CAB file, but you can still get to it.

0) To extract the files : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/129605[^]

1) To see your source code for the binaries : Use Reflector[^]

I think there is not much OP can do to get source code back. Backup ?

Reflector will show him most of his source code if he didn't obfuscate the binaries.
