Guidelines, a hidden feature for the Visual Studio editor

Sara Ford tells us how to use a hidden feature of the Visual Studio editor: visual guidelines.
These guidelines are visible column indicators for the VS editor.



I tried it with Visual Studio 2003 and it works fine. Here is the value I use: RGB(255,200,200) 80
This helps you to keep your code lines within the 80-caracter wide limit.

It works with VS 2005 Beta 2 too.
I tried but honestly, after 10mn, I switch it off: not you?

If you find it annoying, try a subtle gray like RGB(243,243,243).

Exactly, the color of my line is very light, so it does not get in the way when not needed.

Try word-wrap. Its really nice after you get over the shock of change.
