Yes, but you will lose many of the features of Ranorex Studio.

Thanks for the reply.

Do you have a link which mention how to integrate in visual studio and also the link which mention the limitations while doing so.

If you search the forums and the Ranorex site/documentation there are several pieces of information available that should help.

I (and a couple others on here) do all of my development in VS. I do not use the repository or any of the visual niceties that the Ranorex IDE provides. I find that writing the code myself via the Ranorex API to be very easy and powerful.
As for implementation, you only need to make a reference to the Ranorex library(ies) you want to use for your test and then code to the Ranorex API when needed. Everything else that is not Ranorex is just straight C# (or VB.Net if you prefer) through VS.
