As I Go on typing, I want second window to display the code that I type on the first monitor. Is it possible in visual studio 2012? It would be very helpful for me while teaching the trainees.

Answer 1

I haven't got a copy installed here to test but I believe the answer you're looking for lies hidden under the Window menu..

Activate the window you wish to duplicate and under Window on the toolbar choose New Window. This will create a duplicate of the active document. Under the Window menu again you should find the option to make the window Floating

Answer 2

In VS2012, the feature closest to what you are after is called "Split" and its under the Window menu when you have a code file selected. This creates a split view of the selected code file within the original window.

I don't know of any way to seperate the copies from each other and float them on different screens.
