    Question dual monitor help!!!

    i have recently set up dual monitors, i found it great being able to see the code on one monitor and the compiled version on the other. However i have only been able to do this when coding websites. HTML code on one monitor and the website on the other. I have seen other programmers have (eg) visual studio code on one monitor and the compiled app on the other. Can anyone help with how i could do this??

    Thanks

    You need to move your VS IDE window over to the second monitor. When in Normal window state drag it to the second moniotr and then maximize it. When you run your program or compiled app it will appear on the first monitor.

    You can do the same with the docked toolbox, property window, and explorer window.

    I don't understand, when you're test running why not just move your program to the other monitor enabling you to see the code ?

    Simply drag it accross and onto the other monitor...
