Nice tip - way easier than looking at the bottom of the window for the line number

Hey Now Zain,

This is a good one & I've enjoyed your series keep going.

Thx 4 the info,

Catto

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> ALL LANGUAGES -> General -> Display and check Line numbers

Love your tips Zain. I read them everyday :)

a little tip for you and your readers:

- There is a macro to turn on Line numbers, and a macro to turn off line numbers.

I've added both macros as buttons to the main tool bar (click small arrow in toolbar to ADD macro as a button).

The macros are called   "Samples.Utilities.TurnOnLineNumbers" and "Samples.Utilities.TurnOffLineNumbers"

Now, when I need extra space to view code, I can turn off or on line numbers at will.

* Zain how do I assign a shortcut key to this?  And what shortcut key combination do you suggest to not interrupt VS2010 or other standard windows shortcuts?

Thanks,

Gabriel

p.s. I wasted too much time trying to figure how to do this. I hope it becomes a standard button in the future :)

Thanks Zain, great post.

Looks like you ALREADY talked about the "turn on line numbers" macros before ... wow ... I guess I missed that one.

Thanks :)

Gabriel

You're better then you think Zain !    subconsciously you knew exactly where to send me  :)  Thanks !

Can you create a VS Tip of the day tutorial that accomplishes the following:

1. Make a button on the toolbar that combines both macros. (One press turns on line numbers,  and the second press turns off)

2. Show us how to add a graphic Icon to the button, to make it look professional

3. Give an MSDN Ultimate subscription to the person who suggested such an interesting Tip of the day :)

Thanks,

Gabriel

Levi is right, the path in the post is incorrect, you have missed out ALL LANGUAGES from it
