I would like the line of code where the cursor is currently positioned to have a different background color (like in UltraEdit for those who know it).

Is this possible?

EDIT: I'm coding in C++ so ReSharper does not seem to apply (correct me if I'm wrong). I'll give "Slickedit Gadgets" a try (free, unlike "Slickedit" itself).

Cheers!

Freeware add-on that does this and more.

I use Resharper to do this.

On the slickedit site it says it's not free. What are the limitations of the free downloadable version? Is it limited in time?
@Laurent - umm... 'Free SlickEdit Gadgets' ->Editor Gadgets->Line ruler? Free. as in 'free beer'. The best kind of free. Not sure where the confusion is..
The confusion was between their main product for which they offer a "Trial" and the "Gadgets"... thanks for the correction!

No, unfortunately Visual Studio does not support this feature (although almost every other text editor available does).
