I'm looking for a way to add comments or tooltips or whatever in Visual Studio without affecting the file itself. Ideas?
For example:

How to get rid of bar marked on below screenshot? Previously I had there some kind of code tracking, like code minimap, using which I could quickly move to specific part of my code, but I decided to remove it. It worked, but bar remained and it is misleading for me, as it cuts my code (it can also be seen on screenshot) and just waste space.
I remember that I saw this feature for first time in Visual Studio Code, but disabling it was easy as it required only to add one line to settings JSON file. Unfortunately, I can't see such a file for Visual Studio 2017. On the other side - last time Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Code acted like two separate beings and that's fine for me. This time they act like Visual Studio 2017 inherits settings from Visual Studio Code. I had this code minimap though I never enabled it. I had ESLint enabled in Visual Studio 2017 though I never enabled it. However both of those were enabled in Visual Studio Code. Is there a way to separate Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Code again? I would like my settings from Visual Studio Code to not be adopted by Visual Studio 2017.
Fixed. I had to enter Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages -> Scroll Bars and changed Behavior from "Use map mode for vertical scroll bar" to "Use bar mode for vertical scroll bar".
My question about inheriting settings from Visual Studio Code by Visual Studio 2017 is still up-to-date.
I've already turned off many options in Visual Studio 2017, but I can't suppress this annoying pop-up. (Not this specific one, but all of them, for all the API's)
Can someone please show me the setting I need?
Check this old post How do I turn off code tooltips in Visual Studio 2010. In it a workaround is provided but you will probably make a new extension from the source for it to work in Visual Studio 2017.
Looks like there is no setting for this except for the C/C++ language.
There is a post that goes on about Visual Studio with 'intelligent' word wrap in How to make word wrap respect indentation in Visual Studio?
However - its a personal preference and can make code more unreadable in some cases.
In Visual Studio 2013 - this auto-indentation is default behavior.
How do you in Visual Studio 2013 turn this off?, so we get word-wrapping going back to the previous way - all-left aligned?
There doesn't appear to be an option in Visual Studio Options, or maybe I am missing something. If it is missing in Visual Studio Options, does anyone know of an add-in that will reset this auto-indentation?
I have VS2010 but try this:
Options/Text Editor/C#/Tabulations and then at identation block select none.
PS. You have to expand the options, if you select text editor it will show only the general options for text editor.
Unfortunately now I am one of those people who are asking for help to find some individual setting inside Visual Studio but after quite a long time of searching I am simply giving up.
I need the following feature of both Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 turned on:
If you click an identifier in your source code Visual Studio will highlight all other occurrences of this identifier with Grey.
Maybe:
I can't test this out myself, can't tell if it's a MSVS feature or Visual Assist. You might need Intellisense enabled for this.
This extension of Visual Studio will Highlight all occurrences of selected word

I really like Visual studio. I think it is awesome IDE ever been made for developers. But color scheme in new VS2010 is really ugly, so the first thing i'd like to do after install is to change its color palette. I googled how to do this and found VS extension by Matthew Johnson [MSFT].
If you know another way to change color palette in VS2010, please let me know.
You can use the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor to make changes directly within Visual Studio, which will allow you to change the theme/color of the actual Visual Studio shell itself.
To change the theme/color of the editor, you can browse themes (created by others) at Studio Styles, which also allows you to create a theme online and then import it into Visual Studio.
You can create, import and export VS themes in your browser! http://studiostyles.info/
I suppose It should work and for VS 2010
Let me know if it works...
