How to view SQL query behind .NET Windows Form (EXE)?

Hi Nadeem,

If the source code is unavailable then it is almost impossible to find the query written behind. Imagining the application was developed using high end programming like .Net, it is not possible to find the query written behind, the reason is that the source code written in the IDE of .Net will be compiled into C++ kind of code and then encrypted. Hence, if you are in need to extract the code you will need to go two levels back.

Hi Nadeem,

We have the possibility to extract useful information like SQL query without having the source code for any application. I have below the link of an article that shows how to extract the SQL query without a source code. For this you should have SQL Server Management Studio .There you can find step by step instructions and commands used to extract the details. See it here.
