How do you turn off the vertical lines that connect the braces in C# code? Is this a VS 2013 property? Is this resharper 8 doing this? Thanks

6Just a side-note: Indent Guide extension is much more useful http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/e792686d-542b-474a-8c55-630980e72c30 . It displays vertical dotted gray lines, in a very subtle way, which does not interfere with your main editor window. – Dio Phung Jul 03 '14 at 14:54

Yes, I hate it and was going to ask the same question, but I have figured it out. You must have ProductivityPowerTools installed too. Go to Tools->Options->Productivity Power Tools->Other Extensions and there is an option group called Structure visualizer options. In there is a checkbox for Show code structure in editor. Turn this off, and job done!

Works for VS2017, VS2019 and VS2022
Tools > Options > Text Editor > General > Uncheck Show Structure Guide Lines

For Visual Studio 2017 look at
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> [lang] -> Advanced -> Block Structure Guides
[x] Show guides for declaration level constructs
[x] Show guides for code level constructs

I'm using Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise now and found this setting under Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> General, uncheck the box "Show structured guide lines"
