Easy in .NET. Not possible for most other things.

yes sir, I try .net reflector. But there is any tool to break any executable file?

Christian Graus 22-Jul-12 20:55pm

If it's not .NET, there's no way to get that close to the original code, there are expensive tools that try to decompile to C++.

To be clear, the odds are very low that you can grab an exe, decompile, and get code you can learn anything from, if it's not .NET to start with.

thanks for your reply sir, Cause I want to find out what is the code for making a dynamic graph/chart in vb.net .

If reflector does not work, then you don't have VB.NET program to look at. As I suspected, you were asking the wrong question. You need a graph library for this, try googling zedgraph.

Not only is this probably not possible, it's as waste of time. Buy a book and learn to code. You can't learn to code, or even get much in the way of reusable code, from a decompiled project. Don't look for shortcuts. If you have a paying client, let them know you lied. Sit down and learn, then you can be a real programmer.
