For Visual Studio 2019:

  • Toggle on/off - Option 1: Ctrl+R,Ctrl+W
  • Toggle on/off - Option 2: Edit > Advanced > View White Space
  • Change appearance: Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Visible White Space (near top of list, probably because it is a commonly used setting)

Ajryan is correct but depending on your profile this menu item may be obscured. The keyboard shortcut should still work though. Ctrl+R,Ctrl+W

If it is VS2008 then you can use Ctrl+E, S combination to toggle.

You need to turn off showing whitespace characters. Menu: Edit > Advanced > View White Space.
