I have accidently enabled these dotted lines that exist on the left of each line of code as in the image below, I would like to undo it, I have tried to reset VS setting but it stayed there, any idea?
Edit -> Advanced -> untick View White Space
Or press Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W.

I've just installed Visual Studio 2017 and got strange vertical indentation marks in code editor.
How can I remove them?
P.S. I disabled all extensions but it doesn't help.
There is an option under Tools → Options → Text Editor called Show structure guide lines that should remove that.
In the last version of Visual Studio Code, downloaded in July/2017 (please note that this is not Visual Studio, but as #tambre pointed out, this may help in VS too), the name of this setting changed:
Go to the menu Code->Preference->Settings and search for "renderIndentGuides". The complete setting should appear as:
"editor.renderIndentGuides": true,
Change it to false and that's it.
Just press ctrl+E,S and it will be removed.
The same thing in VS2019 is called Show guides for declaration level constructs in the section of Tools → Options → Block Structure Guides; you might want to uncheck Show guides for code level constructs as well.
A slight update for those using Visual Studio Code, version 1.48.1 (2020-08-19) on Windows 10.
Go to the Settings: Ctrl+, OR File => Preferences => Settings
Search for renderindent
Toggle the settings checkbox for Editor: Render Indent Guides
It's been mentioned in a comment, so I'm just bringing this up as an alternative answer: you can change the color of the vertical dotted lines. They are called "Structure Guide Lines" in the Visual Studio Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors dialog. I set mine to { 55, 55, 55} so they are barely visible on the dark-mode background.
Another related setting is "Visible White Space" color, which I set to { 13, 52, 60} after activating the Edit -> Advanced -> View White Space (Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W) option.
Go to Settings->Text editor -> Editor>Guideline:indentation -> uncheck
I would like to see all files or documents I've opened in Visual Studio. I do not want them to be auto hidden or hidden on overflow.
How can I achieve it?
One of the built-in option to do so: use pinned tabs.
http://dailydotnettips.com/2016/01/21/persevering-and-separating-the-pinned-tabs-in-visual-studio/
If you don't want to read a external page just for setting:
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row
It's not completely what you want, but it's free and may be useful.
Maybe it's not exactly what you search, but here is a way to at least get a second row for pinned tabs.
Effectively get you more space for opened files:
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row
Visual Studio has this extension taken from msdn.microsoft.com tested and worked
Simple installation: download, doubleclick to install, restart VS IDE. Then open all the tabs you want they all will be displayed and No hidden.

It's worth noting that starting in VS 2019 v16.4, you can now have "vertical tabs" which will list all open tabs vertically, making it easy to see all open files.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/customizing-window-layouts-in-visual-studio?view=vs-2019#vertical-document-tabs
In Visual Studio 2022, this issue now has a native solution. Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show tabs in multiple rows. Excess tabs will be shown on additional rows. There doesn't seem to be a limit on how many rows this can use.
Another relevant option that some may find useful; you can choose "Show invisible tabs in italic in tab dropdown menu". The dropdown button is only visible when you hover your mouse near the end of the row of tabs. Showing invisible windows in italics makes it easier to identify windows that are only visible in the overflow menu.
For those using Visual Studio 2022, check the "Show tabs in multiple rows" setting in Tools > Options > Environment > Tabs and Windows section.
For Visual Studio Code
If you want to see all the opened tabs,
you can simply on wrap tabs option in the VS Code settings
settings > User > Workbench > Editor > Wrap Tabs
In some of my C++ files in Visual Studio 2010, there are these strange icons next to the line numbers. I cannot click on them, right click on them, or interact with them in any way. The only thing I can do is move / delete lines of code and these icons follow the line they are on / get deleted when the line is deleted.
I have looked everywhere but have found nothing. Can someone tell me what these are?
Those are bookmarks.
You can remove a bookmark using the menu option Edit -> Bookmarks -> Toggle bookmark or pressing Ctrl+K twice.
You can use Edit -> Bookmarks -> Clear bookmarks or press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+L to remove all bookmarks in the file.
The purpose of the bookmarks is that you can quickly jump between them.
Sorry for my question, but can anyone say how can I remove this dots, there is a any shortcur or other way
Edit -> Advanced -> View White Space
or you can use the Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W keyboard shortcut.
Here's how to turn them on, I'd imagine you can use the same menu to disable them again.
If you don't want to click that link, it's under "Edit > Advanced > View White Space"
The Visual Studio editor highlights the current line by changing the background color of the current line. Is there a simple way to disable this highlighting? Otherwise, which parameter in Fonts and Colors dialog controls the background color of the currently selected line in the editor?
Is there a simple way to disable this highlighting?
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor, in the Display group, uncheck "Highlight current line"
Which parameter in Fonts and Colors dialog controls the background color of the currently selected line in the editor?
The colors are named "Highlight Current Line (Active)" and "Highlight Current Line (Inactive)"
To disable the border around the current line
In VS 2019
Go to : Environment -> Fonts and Colors:
Find the display item: Highlight Current Line
Set the item foreground color to: Automatic
In VS 2017 and earlier
Go to : Tools -> Options -> Text Editor:
Find the display items:
Highlight Current Line (Active)
Highlight Current Line (Inactive)
Set the item foreground color to: Automatic
if its visual code make
"editor.renderLineHighlight": "none"
The Visual Studio editor highlights the current line by changing the background color of the current line.
The only time I've seen this is when "Use Windows High Contrast settings" is enabled (Options > Environment > General)
With this setting disabled, I just get a subtle grey box to indicate the current line (this may depend on your Color Theme):
If you're using Resharper, it's:
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor:
ReSharper Current Line Highlight
press -> Ctrl + comma
Search => Render Line Highlight
select none from the options
In addition to the previous answer, I'd like to mention that Visual Assist (the tomato icon) also have an highlight current line feature, that can still be active while your Visual Studio highlight option is turned off.
This drove me crazy! Find it in Visual Assist Option panel, Display category.
So don't forget to also uncheck the VisualAssist highlight option.
edit
my settings:
Visual Assist option turned off
Visual Studio option turned on (in the Text Editors part)
In the font color settings, for Highlight current line (active and inactive), set the foreground to Automatic
Finally you can set your highlight color as you want with the background color.
Last point, sometimes Visual Studio mess things up even more, you may have to restart it, or close/open your tabs... sadly, YMMV.
For VsCode 2021 version users
Workspace > Text-Editor > Render Line Highlight > none
Visual assist and vsvim extensions were conflicting. So I disabled it within the visual assist options.
Uncheck the option: Highlighting->Highlight results of Quick Find and Find in Files.
For some reason "esc" doesn't work .
