Enable the display of line numbers in Visual Studio
Visual Studio-2010Visual StudioLine NumbersVisual Studio-2010 Problem Overview
Why doesn't Visual Studio have any way of showing line numbers in a source file? Is there any way to enable it, or a plugin for it? I know that the number of lines of code in a program doesn't matter, but sometimes it is nice to know how long a program is or the number of a particular line for reference.
Though I tried, I can't seem to find a way to enable line numbering and I find that surprising.
This is Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. (If you have read my older questions, I've been using 2008 Express until now.)

Solution 12 - Visual Studio-2010
Type 'line numbers' into the Quick Launch textbox (top right VS 2015), and it'll take you right where you need to be (tick Line Numbers checkbox).
Solution 13 - Visual Studio-2010
For MS Visual Studio 2015 type "Text" in Quick Launch (Ctrl+Q) of top right corner.
-
In the list select Text Editor->All Languages->General select_allLanguages
-
Now check on "Line Numbers" and click OK to get the line numbers.
Finally we get the line number in text editor.
Solution 14 - Visual Studio-2010
In Visual Studio 2010 Express, there is an option called "Show all Settings". Located at "Tools > Options", window.
If this option is not checked, the line number option will not be available. Make sure this option is checked like shown below. This will make lot of additional settings visible in the tree view to the left.
Now this will make the option "Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > General > Line Editor" available. Check the "Line Number" option to make line numbers visible on Visual Studio 2010 Express.
Solution 15 - Visual Studio-2010
You should edit "settings.json". In that add, "editor.lineNumbers":"on",
. You can check comments for various options you have.
In Visual Studio Code - 2017, you can also directly go to a given line number. There are following three ways to do that.
- Directly use keyboard shortcut - Ctrl + G.
- Under menu Go, use Go to Line - Go > Go to Line
- Search for Go to Line in Command Pallete (Cmd + Shift + P).
