I've been working on my A2 Computing project for the past few months - and was working on one form.
My computer crashed (for some unknown reason) and subsequently the form no longer works.

I can open up the designer for it, and see all the declarations - but I can't open the source code.
Is there anyway I can recover the source code?

the error i'm getting is : "Unable to open module file 'C:\PATH_TO_PROJECT_FILE\BROKEN_FORM.vb':
System Error &H80041feb&"

Thanks in advance for any help

Edit: I just opened the file with notepad++ and it read "NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL" - Am I right in assuming all is lost and I should start from scratch ?

try opening it up directly in something like notepad.. copy the text out.. create a new form.. and drop the text in there..

[bammurdo]

I just did that, and found lots of "NULL NULL"

yeah.. i would start over.. I mean it's odd that it would have over written just that file on a computer crash.. I mean that file's no more important than any other text doc or what not..

:c

the designer and what not is fine though.
would replacing the file with :

Public Class TheFormName

End class

work (as in, place all the textboxes and things)?

You can just copy/paste the whole designer code into a new form.. or put it all there yourself.. what ever is easier..

have you looked in the backup folder? maybe there you can find something helpful... usually when things like that happens to me, visual studio ask me if I want to recover files..
