How can I get my website source code after my friend locked me out?

Question

I need to get the source code from my IIS7 webserver. I gave my friend access to the source so he could help with maintenance; however, after a couple months of inactivity, he has locked me out of my own repository and now pays for it himself (I don't know why he did this).

How do I get the source from the webserver? I use IIS7.

Answer 1

I think there are two things you could do now:

1. Ask him for the sources
2. Take a lawyer and sue him

Answer 2

There is no way to get the source code of a server side web app that runs on IIS7 if you only have access to the web app through the web server. This is by design.
