I’m taking a VB course in college right now. As part of the course we have to write and debug a VB based contact management application. You would think that the editor in the IDE would allow you to turn on / off line numbers – unfortunately it does not. Being informed you have a syntax error on a specific line is not terribly helpful when there is no easy way to reference it or search for it.

Fortunately it is pretty easy to just cut / paste the source code into a real editor like vim.
