Structural Highlighting

Structural Highlighting supplements your code with lines that highlight block boundaries. This helps you verify that your code’s indentation is correct. This feature is useful when you work with a code block that can not be fully displayed on the screen at once.

CRR_Vis_Struct

Structural Highlighting is available in all languages which CodeRush supports.

The following image shows this feature in Blazor:
