Can't really help if you already tried to open it with NotePad.
 

Does it have a file size?

Can you upload it?

[samideqlqpart]

hi
yes its indicates 476Ko
and when i opened it with notepad the cursor is at the begin and the page is blank!
as i know , every times i make ctrl+shift+S i save all things, as well as my program progress
that mean, an archive is created, but where is it!? and how to access?

[ChrisCarlson]

Sounds like the file is blank either was corrupted or someone deleted everything.

[samideqlqpart]

ok
but how to access my precedent saved files

[ChrisCarlson]

I literally have no idea how your computer is setup. Not all text editors save a backup of each save. Are you using Notepad or Notepad++?

If notepad++ i'd check here
%AppData%/Notepad++/backup

[Jeff H]

Maybe try right-clicking->properties->Previous version(tab)

[samideqlqpart]

hi
i  have just notepad
and i've used it just for seeing my file.vb

in the properties i can't see the Previous version tab

my question now
is how you proceed to return to a precedent version of your saved file?

[ChrisCarlson]

If you literally only use notepad.exe and have not setup previous versions within Windows, there is no way to recover a previous version.

[Keith Brown]

It certainly does not do anything to help you now but you should read and follow the advice in this article.

[samideqlqpart]

is it possible to get my file with GIT ?
otherwise conversely
from my dll ?

[dgorsman]

Ah, no - I think you are missing something.  That's about establishing back-ups in general, and how version control helps with that.  You should *always* back up your work to somewhere else so if something like this happens you don't lose everything.

[ChrisCarlson]

Did you upload it to a repository, either locally or remote? If not, no.

You can go from DLL to source but the results are iffy at times.

[samideqlqpart]

with decompilator or what to use in this case
thank

[ChrisCarlson]

I'm not liking where this topic is going, starting to seem like you have someone else's DLL and you want the source to it. Suggest you google around
