Can you grab whatever it was that you deleted from the recycle bin?

If you were working in Excel, copied it worked on it, and deleted it, where do you think you'd find the original?

Before trying to recreate the VI from memory, make sure that your Version Control System (Subversion, Git, Perforce, Mercurial, something else) is properly configured and used every time a significant change is made to the code. The cost of doing this is very low, especially compared to the pain of losing your work, doubly-especially when you start dealing with Projects with hundreds of VIs.

I like version control because it makes you bold and daring. If you're going to try a crazy idea, create a branch. If it ends up going nowhere, you just delete the branch and start over.

Then SOL. Next time, use a Software Configuration Control software such as Tortoise SVN or GIT to save a history of your code in repositories. Then you can easily recover from disasters like this. And almost as important, when somebody asks you what you did to the code on day X, you can just look at the history and the notes you put in on the commit will tell you exactly what you did (yes, I just ran into this situation).

I always write something in the revision history of the VI, then when I'm ready to commit, I put all those notes into the commit log. If it seems a bit tedious, I can tell you exactly when each change was made, and makes it a lot easier to hunt bugs down.

Going to put in a purchase for a version control system.
Never learnt version control. This is my chance.
Thanks a lot people !
