Your link didn't work.

If you mean working with IDE, code displayed in one pane and running app in the second pane, the answer is no way.

Since VB code is compiled before execution, running the app would "lock" the exe file which prevents compiling the code. The best you get with VB is Edit & Continue feature i.e. you can stop debugger, edit source code and then continue debugging. And that's a really great feature!

AFAIK VB 2005 does not support dual monitor setups. Maybe VB 2008 does support dual monitor, but still edit & execute might not work in the way I think you mean.

Thankyou sir,
Is it possible to run VB6 projects in VS2005 with a button click.
(ie) In an IDE when i click some button i need VB6 projects to run in VS2005.

From VB IDE's menu "Tools\External Tools" you can add external apps to IDE, like VB6.EXE (VB6 IDE). And you get that to the "Toolbar Buttons" with Customize Toolbar.

I use VB2005 EE, in VS you might have more (=better) ways to do this.

Sorry, it seems I understood your question totally wrong.

Here's how to launch VB6 from VB.NET
VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  2.   '
  3.   Dim MyProcess As New Process
  4.   Dim RetVal As Boolean
  5.   Dim FileName As String
  6.  
  7.   ' This my path to VB6, change it to match yours
  8.   FileName = "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VB6.exe"
  9.   ' Set process properties
  10.   MyProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
  11.   MyProcess.StartInfo.FileName = FileName
  12.   MyProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal
  13.   ' Start the application and check if it started
  14.   RetVal = MyProcess.Start()
  15.   If Not RetVal Then
  16.     MessageBox.Show("Unable to start application", _
  17.       "Error", _
  18.       MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
  19.       MessageBoxIcon.Information)
  20.   End If
  21.  
  22. End Sub
Just change the file name to start any application. The application (VB6) starts as its own process i.e. after running the code above, you'll have VB.NET and VB6 as separate processes. If you try to run VB6 "inside" of the VB.NET, that's not possible.

No, it's not possible. I did explain that in my previous postings.
