    V: My Class file was fu....?

    How can I fix this file , I'v been working on it for the last two months(does all sort of database operations) ? I did backed it up but I have old versions that contain bugs and imcomplete. I'm frustrated . How did that happen ! Well , it's a long story of moving partitions and stuff .

    Thank you guys for any help !

    This is a good example of why Visual SourceSafe is useful. All my complicated stuff goes into it (it integrates with the IDE and it only adds an extra click when checking in/out files) and all my previous versions are kept.

    I'll look at it but I'm not all that super skillful, so don't count on me too much

    Holy crap it looks encrypted, or like it got converted to binary or something. How did this happen? I can't see any readable strings in this.

    It looks binary to me as well . I moved one of the partitions (it's my fault I didn't back up lastest changes) , anyways , small error happened (I can't remember exactly) . The operation was cancelled . This happened two a month or so ago . When I tried to run the proj today , I found it scrambled and didn't work ofcourse .

    You moved a partition, as in disk partition? If you got an error during that then what is in your file is probably random junk that was on the disk marked as deleted from the allocation table. Could be the contents of an Excel file, could be part of a random executable, could be anything. If I were you I'd start trying to rework one of the older versions of your file (and I'd start using VSS too).

    If you got an error while moving a partition and that's the cause of your file being hosed, you might as well have posted

    "XxXxXxXx"

    and asked for a utility to turn it into Winword.exe. ^_^ but maybe somebody else can give you a better answer.

    It's difficult to get it recovered I guess . It's good practice to code them again....lol .

    Thanks for your replies though !
