I'm looking for an old Vb3 de-complier.

[Al Smith]

Hi,
We have an old program, circa 1999, that was written using VB3. The source code is long gone and the author is no longer with us.
We want to convert one of the functions to asp.net.
I've found links that mention a VB3 de-compiler but none of the links are active.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Al.

I doubt you will get help under the circumstances of you wanting to De-compile and exe, even if it is your program.

You can download a VB3 decompiler from:

and for VB4:

but I don't think this one works, I've tried it before. The VB3 version isn't the lastest version. I have a newer version which does VB2 as well.

Email me and we can swap projects.

because you can't convert the code to a higher level language..

well 1's and 0's could be converted into assembly .

so the real answer would be because it is compiled into Native Code, which means that it is real compiled code, instead of P-code, which is interpreted.

VB4 and older can only compile into p-code. vb5 and 6 allowed for native code as well. .net is decompilable because normally it is compiled in real time.
