thank u

[ChrisCarlson]

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

[Jeff H]

So you created and edited the file with notepad?

[samideqlqpart]

no
i've got this message There is no editor available for C:.user..........myfile.vb
Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed.

and when i have opened it with notepad it was blank ...NO code , NOTHING
after a long time of a big work on it

i'm looking for a solution and how to recover it
thank you

[ChrisCarlson]

As I said earlier, can you upload the .vb file?

[samideqlqpart]

with what
iwhen i double clic on it i got the message sent

[CADbloke]

and when i have opened it with notepad it was blank ...NO code , NOTHING

i'm looking for a solution and how to recover it
thank you

If that was the only copy and it is blank then you have just learned the importance of backups. It is gone. There is no solution. Stop wasting your time and do these three things ...
1. Back up your work
2. Start again.
3. Back Up Your Work

I am sorry for your loss but it is lost.

Also, read this thread: https://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=32381.0 - it has a lot of useful information about development.

However, if this is correct...

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

then you will not get any more help from us.
