How to count the total number of code lines in a VB.NET project?

[Win]

As the title says, is there a convenient way to count how many lines of code in a VB.NET project? Thanks for help.

hi
It is not the strait forward but
save the*.vb as *.txt
open it in word
go to file > properties> statistic and see the line #

* it will count remarks also

First of all delete spaces between the lines of codes, then write every code line on individual line. then at the status bar you can see the line numbers where your cursor will be. Reach at the end of the line and in this way you can see the number of lines in your code.

Best of luck

Now what's the purpose for knowing how many lines of code you have?

If you have a lot more code for the same project, then that would actually show more less skill at programming than the person that did the same project with less code. Also comments & white space really differs, because like I use a lot of comments & white space, so competing against me..I'd be champion of the world programmer! :D

Hum for you less code means you're a better programmer ?

I think that you're mistaken there.

My code might be more voluminous because I do more validations and also because I might put more comments.

I might also make my code more General ( meaning I use parameters and the like ) so I don't have to rewrite it, which might also make my project Bigger (and in that case you need to validate the parameters )

Does that mean I'm a worse programmer ? if so then you're mistaken.

It's about time we got some energy in the VB.NET forum!

I've attached an app that should do everything you need, but if not, it's pretty easy to modify.
