Hello I need one confirmation from you guys. I have one client who have published web site (asp.net 2.0) and site is live online. Client doesn’t have solution or original source code of this web site project. My question is : Is it possible to download this code localy and successively run it inside visual studio ?

Simple answer is Nope.
You do need the source code to build and run the web site within Visual Studio. Visual Studio purpose is to help the developer build the website or even extend a website (looks like what you want to do) and to do so it requires source code files.
What you can do is to try to set up IIS (Internet Information Services) and run a copy of the web site locally but it isn’t Visual Studio as you stated in the question.
