Decompile C++ code?

yikes - no backups of your project after a week of work? Zip tools are your friend.
There are decompiler tools advertised in WDJ / MSJ but they're expensive and probably don't have 30-day trials.

You should be backing up for version control if nothing else. So when you accidentally delete the wrong block or make a revision that goes horribly wrong you can revert back to before the error.

Delete your program? I have had Visual Studio crash on me hundreds of times but it has never deleted any files. I suppose it's possible that it crashed right before writing your file.
It's possible that your source code file(s) are still intact somewhere in the temp folders, so search for them! If not, your best option is to STOP using the hard-drive and use a data recovery program to search for your source code files. You may be able to salvage some data since source code is just plain text.

?!?!?! Why would you keep using such a POS?

That sucks though. You compile a flaky app and it also crashes your editor? Yikes.

Visual Studio 6 does not crash under Win2K or XP in endless loops or after access violation. "What is the 'break' button' Alex." Obivously the program you are debugging in the IDE crashes, but not the IDE itself.
I've also never had Visual Studio (4.x - 6) delete or damage a source file in 7 years of daily use, so I suspect either something else is wrong with the system or Deeko is writing some file-handling app that is going berserk.
That's another reason why backups (preferably off the machine) are a Really Good Thing.
Well, maybe a slight exaggeration 🙂 A lot of the time Visual Studio crashed was when I was debugging multithreaded programs. Other times I was editing a MFC project and the IDE would crash the moment after opening the project without giving any error messages. I had to manually delete a corrupt project file in order for the IDE to load, but since there were no error messages, it took me a while to figure this one out.
I keep using it because there's nothing better for Windows development. The integrated debugger is especially nice.
