Question

I have an App Service in my Azure account which I deployed with Visual Studio Publish wizard. Is it possible to restore the deployed solution locally (in Visual Studio) from

I want to mention one thing which might be helpful if your application is .NET. There are many .NET Decompilation tools today(Reflector, ILSPY, JustDecompile etc.) that can open a .NET DLL and let you view the code (the best one being Telerik's JustDecompile which can create a PROJECT out of a .DLL file or any .NET Assembly)

The code will not look EXACTLY like the one you created but can get you pretty close. Definitely worth a try if you lost your code and looking for some way to get it. This will only work if the code was not obfuscated in the first place. There might some rework required but you can get somewhat close.
