Answer 2

Adds vertical column guides to the Visual Studio text editor. This version is for Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015.

See the plugin.

If the problem is simply that you want to know when you pass 80 characters for a single line, which is a common coding guideline limit, you can use a different approach: Editor Guidelines. This will add vertical column guides behind your code.
