In Visual Studio 2008, it seems that Window -> Split only gives me a horizontal split, and Window -> New horizontal tab group does not allow me to edit the same file in both panes.

Note that I am talking about C# code windows, not HTML editing mode.

I want to edit the same file in two horizontally arranged panes.

Is this possible? Free add-ons are fine.

Edit: I have CodeRush Express installed, and it seems to have done something to my code window borders.

Edit #2: It’s not CodeRush. I tried on VM with no CodeRush, and I have exactly the same issue.

  1. Ok, I found the solution here.

    The answer is:

    1. Window -> New Window
    2. Window -> New Vertical Tab Group

    This duplicates the current tab so you’ll get [Form1.cs:1] and [Form1.cs:2] tabs; and then you can use a vertical tab group to view them side by side.
