Hi New to sql server,

Thank you for your post.

To turn on the feature of "line numbers" in Visual Studio, please go to Tools menu >> Options >> Text Editor >> Choose the Editor that you want to show "line numbers" (e.g. C#) >> General >> Check "Line Numbers".

Hope this helps! If you have any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks for the response. 

I just tried to display the line numbers using the directions you provided but couldn't get it to work.  When i go to Tools>>Options>>Text Editor, it doesn't give me a choice of editors.  It doesn't list anything that's even close.  It shows a Settings and Display panel but it doesn't offer a list of editors to choose from or a "Line Numbers" choice to select.

I'm using VS 2008 Pro.  I don't know if this helps.

Is there another way I can try?

Go to tools->options and please refer below image to do the setting:

Thanks for the response Mr Kashif.  I couldn't get it to work because I didn't drill down into the "All Languages" part of the text editor.  Your image was a big help.
