Suddenly, after restarting Visual Studio it refuses show any code lines. It shows form grafics ok and the programs work fine. I have reloded project, restarted VS, restarted my computer, tested with older projects but the result is the same. There are simply no visual code lines.

Anyone else experiensed this? / Linnéa

• What do you mean by code lines? Do you mean the line numbers? I think there is a setting to show that in preferences/settings. Or do you mean your actual code is not showing up when you open the file? – Brad Commented Mar 21 at 13:48
• I mean the actual code. The headlines are shown, but not the lines themselves – Linnéa Elvesjö Commented Mar 21 at 21:09

Sorted by: Reset to default 1

=> You can go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages and then check "Line numbers" it will then show you line numbers.

If checkbox is "indeterminate" (showing dash instead of checked) state then click twice to mark it as checked.

=> if still issue not resolved, you can try resetting all Visual Studio settings:

To reset Visual Studio settings, use the "Import and Export Settings" wizard, selecting "Reset all settings" or use the command line with devenv.exe /ResetSettings

To reset using wizard follow this steps: Visual Studio - Reset all settings

I had a similar issue and it was due to the missing BOM after copying the project from my linux host.

After updating to ver. 17.13.4 the problem is gone. Still no explanation why it happened.

Thanks all of you for trying to help me. Wish you alla a happy springtime.
