hi,
Is it possible to use visual studio IDE for developing and running Ranorex Tests.

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.
