I’ve been using Visual Studio since forever, yet it always takes me a while to remember how to show line numbers.  It’s especially hard to remember after a fresh install of Visual Studio.  Assuming you have it installed and open, here’s how to display line numbers in your code.

  1. Click Tools in the menu bar
  2. Options
  3. Expand Text Editor ( in the popup window )
  4. Click ‘All Languages’
  5. Check the ‘Line numbers’ box under the Display heading ( on the right )
  6. Click OK
  7. Happy Happy Joy Joy!
