Use SplitView within an editor

“

- [Instructor] In this example, I have a long code file open. There's over 170 lines of code in this file. I can use the split view to see two sections of the same file. Here is one way to open the split view. First, let's scroll to the top of my file, and then just look above the slider on the scroll bar. There is this symbol. That's the split symbol. So click with this mouse, hold down and drag down into the document. Now I've go the top portion. It shows one section of my file, and the bottom shows a different section. To put this splitter away, drag it upwards with your mouse 'til you get to the top. The other way to split your window is to just double click. So I'll double click on the symbol, and then to put the splitter away, double click on the splitter. That's a wrap of this quick exploration of working with split bars and code editors in Visual Studio.
