In Visual Studio 2010 you copy the entire line the cursor is on with CTRL   INSERT then you can use Ctrl   V or SHIFT   INSERT to paste it

There s a free extension you can download here that lets you duplicate lines without replacing the clipboard contents   By default its bound to Alt   D  but you can change it to anything you want by going to Tools- Options- Environment- Keyboard   Type  Duplicate  in the search box and look for  Edit DuplicateSelection  and edit the shortcut to whatever you want   I prefer Ctrl   D to be consistent with other editors

While I realize this is not a keyboard shortcut  I figured I would add this  as it does not require the usage of the clipboard and might help some people   Highlight the row you want to duplicate  Press control  mouse click the highlighted text  and drag to where you want to go to   It will duplicate the highlighted text

Why so many long drawn out methods to accomplish something so simple   It takes less than a minute to download and install the extension from Microsoft   The page says that it will bind it to ALT D by default  but for me it bound it to CTRL D automatically in Visual Studio Community 2015 without any changes   Here s the link to download the extension from Microsoft com

Ctrl   D is a new shortcut introduced in VS 2017 v15 6 that seems to do the exact thing that Ctrl   E  V     Ctrl   D will duplicate the line the cursor is in and insert it right below the line in focus  If you   d like to duplicate a specific set of code  simply select the portion of code you want to duplicate before invoking the duplicate code command    It won t affect your clipboard  Source

I ve been using the macro that Wael posted  Duplicate line command for Visual Studio  but it stopped working a week ago  I assumed because of a Windows update  And I was correct  as of February 2014  Macros have been disabled in VS2010  and 2008 apparently    To fix this you ll either have to uninstall the security updates  or add one line of code into the config files as shown here   On a 64-bit Windows machine default paths to these files are    C  Program Files  x86  Common Files Microsoft Shared VSA 9 0 VsaEnv vsaenv10 exe config C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 10 0 Common7 IDE devenv exe config       lt configuration gt       lt runtime gt           lt AllowDComReflection enabled  true   gt                   You MUST run your text editor with admin rights or it won t work  Hopefully this helps anyone else who suddenly has their macro functionality pulled out from underneath them

in VS2019 and also in VS2017 you can select Tools- Options- Keyboard and you can choose in the scheme drop-down Resharper  Visual Studio  option  and you will get a mapping like if you were using Resharper  in this case Ctrl   D will do the trick for duplicating the line  Anyways  based on the documentation this should be out of the gate in Visual Studio 2017 Version 15 8 or greater
