<p>See here <a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/InSearchOfThePerfectMonospacedProgrammersFontInconsolata.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.hanselman.com/blog/InSearchOfThePerfectMonospacedProgrammersFontInconsolata.aspx</a> - for want of a better description - the statement block highlighting - eg in the pics on the link the "statement blocks" are grouped with a vertical line. I understand this is a feature of CodeRush - does R# have either anything similar, or a plugin to do the same?</p>

R# has a feature called Highlight current line, which you have to enable in the ReSharper options.  This looks like crap on dark background, high contrast themes, so if you use one I'd suggest going into the Visual Studio options, under Fonts & Colors and going to "ReSharper - current Line" and making the background color a darker shade that doesn't have as much contrast with the background.
R# also has matching brace highlighting, which is color-configurable as well under the same VS option dialog.
Does that answer you question?
