De-compile DLL file to source code

Hi Experts.

I have a problem like this: i have a DLL file without source code from the previous programmer who build our business system.

How can I de-compile this DLL file to source code, I have use dotPeek and get the defined variables, but the function is unable to de-compile with the message:

// ISSUE: unable to decompile the method.

Is there anyway to solve this problem?

Thanks for reading this.

Apparently you use reflector

"Decompiling" gives you maybe a working source, you still need to rewrite it (building the solution structure, unit tests, correct naming, documentation). So it will be a lot of work.. I would ask the previous developer, where the source is located. Otherwise, do a clean (green field) rewrite.
