In this article we will see how can we show or hide line numbers in documents in visual studio. Some of you might have tried this. Here I will share you the steps to do that. It is easy to find out what and where you have changed your source code if you know the line number of those codes. Isn’t it?

Please see this article in my blog.

Steps

A blog isn’t a blog without comments, but do try to stay on topic. If you have a question unrelated to this post, you’re better off posting it on C# Corner, Code Project, Stack Overflow, Asp.Net Forum instead of commenting here. Tweet or email me a link to your question there and I’ll definitely try to help if I am able to.
