How to enable Line numbering in Visual Studio

Why doesn't VS have any sort of line numbering? Is there any way to enable it, or a plugin for it? I know, 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 what line number something is for reference.

I can't seem to find that as an option anywhere, to my surprise.

Thanks for the help!

This is Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. (if you have read my older questions, I've been using 2008 Express until now.)

Visual Studio has line numbering:

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages -> check the "Line numbers" checkbox.

That circle doesn't look very freehand to me... oh, sorry; this isn't meta...

@James: :) right..sometimes it can be confusing..esp if you are also participating in the meta drawing competition.
