Remove vertical dotted indentation lines in Visual Studio 2017

Question

I\'ve just installed Visual Studio 2017 and got strange vertical indentation marks in code editor.

How can I remove them?

P.S. I disabled all extensions

Answer 1

In the last version of Visual Studio Code, downloaded in July/2017 (please note that this is not Visual Studio, but as @tambre pointed out, this may help in VS too), the name of this setting changed:

Go to the menu Code->Preference->Settings and search for "renderIndentGuides". The complete setting should appear as:

  "editor.renderIndentGuides": true,

Change it to false and that's it.

Answer 2

There is an option under Tools → Options → Text Editor called Show structure guide lines that should remove that.

Answer 3

A slight update for those using Visual Studio Code, version 1.48.1 (2020-08-19) on Windows 10.

1. Go to the Settings: Ctrl+, OR File => Preferences => Settings
2. Search for renderindent
3. Toggle the settings checkbox for Editor: Render Indent Guides

Answer 4

Just press ctrl+E,S and it will be removed.
