Microsoft Visual Studio is a proprietary close-source product.

However, you can learn some techniques if you study source code of SharpDevelop, Open Source development environment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SharpDevelop[^], http://sharpdevelop.com/[^].

@golu jadhav: don't use textspeak; in addition to what Manfred says, it is plain rude. Spell check and use full correct punctuation.

[Edit:] Please don't use textspeak. If people would mail you their answers, how would others coming to this site find that information. So no, we are not going to send you the answers. Stop being so selfish and use these forums like they were meant to be used

As I understand, you've fixed the question text. Thank you very much!
Probably if you did not I would not answer (see).
I demanded proper writing, too.
