I want to HighLight Indentation in Visual Studio IDE 2005.
I want to replace space with periods(.)
for e.g:- This is what I want
main
.{
..Print("hello World");
.}
The only built in thing that's similar is Edit|Advanced|View Whitespace (Ctrl-E, S)
CodeRush Express, a free download also does stuff in this direction (though it might not work in 2005?)

In visual studio 2019, if you click a word, it will highlight all its occurrences.
But if click some blank place, it will de-highlight all.
I only want to highlight the words when double-clicking it, and de-highlight the words if I double click it again.
It differs for each programming language. For C/C++ it's:
Tools/Text Editor/ C/C++ /Advanced/Disable Reference Highlighting (in
References section)
"MultiWordHighlight" is a great extension which can replace visual studio's internal feature.
Every time I type an emmet string and press tab visual studio replaces it with just the main element. Then i realized it was preferning the the snippet that it was auto suggesting. Is there a way around this or fix it? I am using Visual Studio 2013 Community edition on windows 7 64bit if that makes any difference
I found the problem, I was using another plugin called Viasafora that colors braces and makes it easier to to see your indentations it had a default option for showing completions ans you type. I had to go turn it off.
Visual Studio has a word wrap feature, but frustratingly it ignores line indents, making the text hard to read. Other text editors (Notepad++, Sublime Text) simulate the indentation of wrapped lines, making code easier to read
How can I make Visual Studio 2012 wrap lines intelligently? Smartly?
See in Notepad++, 'of beer' is wrapped appearing in line with Console
Where as in Visual Studio, 'bottles of beer' juts out into the indentation, making the code shape hard to read.
Good news: In Visual Studio 2013, word wrap properly respects indents!
However there's a number of remaining issues with it (eg. around the Home/End keys). Please vote at https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/5574507-fix-behaviour-of-home-end-keys-when-word-wrap-is-e
Alas, it's not possible. Bug to the Visual Studio developers at http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/3285423-wrap-lines-intelligently-simulating-indents- . Please vote for it!
This extension does what I want, but only for Visual Studio 2010 :/

NB. I tried hacking the extension manifest to make it install on 2012 but the behaviour went awry. The extension needs a real update
For VS2012, there is an extension

It does the same thing...
I'm trying to print C# code from Visual Studio 2010 to a Konica BizHub Color Printer. Only the line numbers are printing in color. Does anyone know if there is some Visual Studio setting or plug-in to allow the text of the code to be printed in color?
There is a free extension available now, that puts back in color printing. Not all 2008 'features' are supported, but you get color:

It's impossible to do from VS2010 without 3rd party tools. They cut in from production due to time constraints.
There are some tools such as this that have a workaround though

Or you could always copy and paste into Word or an e-mail or something
Good luck!
I was used to use RockScroll (or MetalScroll), but when I started to use ReSharper my RockScroll start to show some bugs. Well, this is scope to another discussion https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1089493/is-rockscroll-compatible-with-resharper.
But my problem is related, because now without MetalScroll I can't highlight all occurrences, what I consider very useful in many situations.
Someone have another plugin for VS2010 or for ReSharper that do the same or better?
I think you are looking for "Highlight usages in file" This can be access via Shift+Alt+F11 or Ctrl+Shift+F7 depending if you are using VS key bindings or InteliJ bindings. Use either Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down or Ctrl+Alt+PageUp/PageDown to go to next and previous highlights.
You can also use the Ctrl+Alt+G combo to bring up a menu of what to jump to. This can be used to move the cursor to the next occurrence.
You should try Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2010. There are other versions, at least one for Visual Studio 2013 and another one for Visual Studio 2015.
It plays nicely with ReSharper and has this selected text matches highlighting both in the editor and the scrollbars among many other features.
Try the visual studio extension RockMargin which highlight the occurrences on double click (like most IDEs). Works fine with VS 2015 and ReSharper.
