In VS2008, you could enable right-margin marks by creating a string registry entry named Guides under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Text Editor. It also worked with the express editions: replace VisualStudio with VCExpress or VCSExpress.
The value I had was: RGB(192,192,192) 80, 100 which gave me light gray lines at columns 80 and 100.
I’ve just tried (and failed) to set them up in VC++2010 Express and VC#2010 Express; does anyone know if they’re still supported?
Not out of the box, but…
Go to “tools\extension manager”.
Click “online gallery”.
Type “guides” in the search box.
The first hit is ‘editor guidelines’, an extension that reads the same registry keys as before. I think there are other extensions in the gallery for it too, maybe.
Here’s the link & description of the extension:
