A PFX file is one that contains an encrypted private key. It is generally used for code-signing, which enables trusted execution of an assembly.
If you deleted it (and it’s not still in the Recycle Bin or available from your source control server), there’s no way to recover it or the key that it contained.
You will have to create a new one, which will change the public key of your assembly. Do so in your project’s Properties, under the “Signing” tab.
