How to convert executable application back to editable VI

I've created a stand alone application of my program, but the source codes are deleted.
Is there anyway that i can convert the created application to recover the source codes (editable VI)?

You cannot. When you compile the code into an executable, the block diagrams behind it are lost. That's how programmers protect their intellectual property. While it may be possible to reverse-engineer/hack the executable, its not an easy task, it won't give you the original block diagram in any way, shape or form, and it is usually easier to rewrite the code from scratch.

If you created your VI once, can't you do it again?
