Can recover my source code with .samap and obfuscated assemblies?

I lost my source codes by hdd failures without backup.
But I have all the .samap files and obfuscated assemblies.

Can I recover my source codes with these files?

    Hi Bill,

    Sorry, I'm afraid this isn't possible. The map files map source lines but not the actual code itself.

    You might be able to recover some of the code using a de-obfuscator such as Reflector, but there's no guarantee it will recover everything.

    Does the Reflector have "de-obfuscating" feature?? My assembly was obfuscated using SmartAssembly.

    Yes, just open your obfuscated assemblies in Reflector and it will attempt to decompile them.

    I can't promise that it will recover everything I'm afraid, but the trial is fully featured for 14 days so it can't hurt to download and try it: http://www.red-gate.com/products/dotnet-development/reflector/. If you can recover your code, great, if not then at least you haven't expended anything.
