I see the different coloured squares showing on the vertical scroll bar within VS2012. I have been programming for quite a long time and still have no idea what they do or where I can find a reference as to what each colour is supposed to indicate.

Is there an online reference with details of the squares. I have tried searching before but turned up nothing. – connersz Apr 09 '14 at 15:31

Are you using ReSharper or another code-cop type util? They usually indicate your code is not formatted/named to the "standard" spec that is configured. I would think you would be able to mouse over them and see a tooltip. – TyCobb Apr 09 '14 at 15:31
