Is it possible to read/retrieve a c++ source code from a .sln file?

I sent a .sln file (instead of .cpp file) to a friend; will he be able to read the source code from it or is it just a file used from Visual Studio to load projects?

No, a sln file only contains references to your files. So at least he now knows the name of your file ;)

No, SLN files only store the project settings. You should send him the whole project in a compressed file.

Just so you know, the recommended way to share code with other people is using a version control system, like GIT.
