Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 help

Whenever i type in code, Visual Studio puts an dot or a tab(->) in between code.I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio, but that didn't do anything.I'm not quite sure what i did and i can't find a way to undo it. Thanks!

P.s.-I tried to copy and paste the what Visual Studio is doing to my code, but for some reason it's not showing up the same way on here.

Sounds like you have show white space switch on in your options/preferences. If so those dots/tabs are just display artefacts Visual Studio is not saving them in the file.

The place to turn this on/off is Edid | Advanced | View Whitespace.

Keyboard shortcuts are Ctrl+R followed by Ctrl+W, or Ctlr+Shift+8. These toggle whitespace on or off.
