Enable the display of line numbers in Visual Studio

Question

Why doesn t Visual Studio have any way of showing line numbers in a source file  Is there any way to enable it  or a plugin for it  I know that the number of lines of code in a program doesn t matter  but sometimes it is nice to know how long a program is or the number of a particular line for reference   Though I tried  I can t seem to find a way to enable line numbering and I find that surprising   This is Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate   If you have read my older questions  I ve been using 2008 Express until now
