Can I copy line numbers along with code in Visual Studio?

I need often to copy and paste a block of code to send it to a colleague, is there a way to copy lines numbers along with the code?

You can try https://copysourceashtml.codeplex.com/ but not sure if it works with newest release

Thanks, I did not say it but I am with VS2015 and these utilities don't seem to be compatible with that release. Is there any risk of trying them anyway?

From memory, the installer is hard coded to look for vs2013 and earlier ... doesn't know about 2015.

You can also copy to notepad ++ and then auto add the link be numbers. A quick Google search will explain how.
