I have a C# 2010 application that I have a question about files in the bin directory. I have created a setup and deployment project and installed the application on a test workstation. Can you tell me what format the application1.dll and application2.dll format files are in? Basically if I want to decompile those dlls, would those applications be in an msil format, a C# 2010 .net format or what format would those files be in?
Next step is I want to see the *.cs code from those two dll files. Thus for example if the code is in an MSIL format, what can I do to get the code in a *.cs readable format?

I am wondering what configuration settings(s) are incorrect in a C# 2010 setup and deployment project in the following two situations:
1. My goal is to recover some lost C# .net source code files by looking at the setup and deployment project.
Right now when I use decompiler software, I obtain only the *.cs files that are generated by the .net framework. I do not have any *.cs files that were written by people.
One of my options I have setup in my visual studio.net 2010 professional version is to debug code generated by the .net framework and code written by people. Would I need to change my debug options to 'just my code'?
2. I am wondering if I am looking for the wrong type of files and/or possibly looking in the wrong place for the files?
I am looking at the dll files in the bin directoy fo where the C# 2010 application has been deployed to.
Let me know if you have any answer(s) to my question(s).
