I lost my solution file for my program, but I have the installed program on the computer. Is there any way possible to reverse engineer it to get the code back?
 
With Reflector you can view the code, http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet (tools > disassembler)

I see there are some trials of full Decompiler, but they usually cost. Search up decompiler or disassembler.
 
Problem is that whilst you can get the source back, it is not going to be as you wrote it. Without the .pdb all variable names will have changed and it will look a little weird in some places, with relflector more than most. You can get an addin for relfector than will dump out a full project from a compiled assembly but i doubt it will work without alterations.
