Is it possible to obtain C# code with only the Executible file?

i have a simple C# program i want to play around with but can not get to the code.

Is it possible to obtain C# code with only the Executible file?
After a fashion, yes. You'll need a good C# decompiler, though, and the result is probably going to be in assembly language, not C#.

Reply:No. Code does not ship with binaries. Sometimes binaries ship with symbols that can help you reverse engineer the code, but usually not.
