Visual Studio: How can I see the same file in two separate tab groups?

Question

I want to be able to edit one method while looking at another method in the same file, as reference. Can this be done?

Answer 1

Only vertically that I'm aware. When looking at the code, right above the vertical scroll bar is a small rectangle, drag it down to get a split view of the file.

Answer 2

You can open the file in another tab (Window -> New Window). Doing so you have two copies of the same file. Then you can right-click the tab bar and select New Vertical Tab Group (or New Horizontal Tab Group, the one you like more).

Hope I understood you question..

Answer 3

Thanks, you are both geniuses!
