I have experience similar problem (4-5 years ago) with Visual Studio. From then, until now, I'm always using SVN and backups. Upvote 0

The main project file has size 21kb but when I open it with notepad++ has only one line and says null null... Very reluctantly i used a freeware "previous file recovery" http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/previous_files_recovery.html and...it worked!! Second time in my life that such a tool helped (the first time another recovery software restored a book a friend of mine wrote) I don't know which parts of the code might be missing but from a first look it seems pretty solid.
