During maintenance or refactoring, usually you’ve to compare multiple code blocks of the same source file. So what we usually do? Put two bookmarks at both locations by using Ctrl+F2 and we will switch between the blocks by pressing F2 and compare it. While being in one block, the other block resides in our memory. ;) Do you know that visual studio supports window splitters to make your life easier?


1) Take menu Window->Split
2) now the mouse changes to a 4 way splitter.
3) Just click on the desired dimensions to split the current window.
4) Finally it will look like as follows.

Pretty useful, but commonly ignored, huh? ;)
