What is VB Decompiler?
VB Decompiler helps examine supported Visual Basic 5/6 and .NET applications when the original project is unavailable. The linked free Lite edition opens supported EXE, DLL and OCX files, displays their structure and shows Native Code, P-Code or .NET IL listings. For VB5/6 programs, it can also recover the visual part of forms and their control properties.
Lite is an inspection and evaluation edition, not a free route to reconstructed high-level source code. P-Code, Native Code, C# and VB.NET code decompilation require a paid edition. Tracing, analytic reports, HEX editing and other advanced tools are also outside Lite. Use it only on programs you own or have the right to analyze.
The screenshot is a historical registered-version 10.3 view of the project tree and recovered form definition. It illustrates the Windows workspace, not the current Lite interface or a promise that every visible registered-edition control is available in Lite.
What it offers
- Inspect supported VB5/6 and .NET EXE, DLL and OCX files.
- View disassembled VB5/6 Native Code and P-Code.
- Read disassembled .NET IL listings.
- Recover the visual part of VB5/6 forms and review control properties.
Good to know
- The free Lite download does not decompile P-Code, Native Code, C# or VB.NET into high-level source code.
- Tracing, analytic reports, HEX editing, advanced search, plugins and advanced exports are not included in Lite.
