I am working in legacy code with the author long gone and documentation completely absent. I have an application running in production that I am trying to track down the source code in Team Foundation Server. I have been unable to find it in the AssemblyInfo.cs of the projects I have looked at.

Does anyone know where to look or how to search to find which solution makes that executable? I have found no similar questions in searching here.

    I don't know any way either, but a colleague sent me a link to dotPeek a while back. Maybe it can be useful? https://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/ – Phil N DeBlanc May 22 '18 at 18:58

    I would start by checking the project files that have the executable fn in them. In the latest versions of VS, the project file contains an xml element called with the name of the executable or library. this could be a tedious process though. – xDJR1875 May 22 '18 at 19:04

    Okay. The `AssemblyInfo.cs` is generated from Visual Studio when you, for example, add a COMPANY tag in the properties page. As far as I know, this file(s) are not necessary to build the application. – Essigwurst May 22 '18 at 19:05
  • Also, it is VS2013. – JimSnyder May 22 '18 at 19:46

Successfully found the source code by pasting the .csproj into a text editor and looking for the tag. That was the kind of answer I was looking for. Tip O' the hat to xDJR1875.
