Easiest way is to use the Code Metrics extension, if you're using a paid version of VS. If not, this blog suggests a Find with a regular expression:

In my VS2015  Community Edition:

View | Other Windows | Code Metrics Results
Then, in that window, click the "Calculate Code Metrics for Solution" button (at the top left of the bar in the window) and it will calculate the (estimated) number of lines of code in the solution (as well as some other metrics).

The value "... Indicates the approximate number of lines in the code. The count is based on the IL code and is therefore not the exact number of lines in the source code file ...".

Will it includes also the comments lines ??? Becasue i dont want to include the comments code

>> ... Will it includes also the comments lines ?

I've no idea - but I doubt that comment lines will be included if the value is estimated by examining IL Code.

Try it with a small test solution, and find out (then let the rest of us know the answer!).

Well thats the problem I dont know how to create a new solution file , this is my first time ever Working with visual studio ,, can someone do me a favour and test if the code metric line of code will include the comments line ???

Use File >> New Project. Add a module with a few comment lines, and a function/sub or two, then see what happens.
DansDadUKCommented:
As far as I'm aware (I use WPF projects, not Web projects), when you add a new project (via File | New | Project) a new Solution (default name based on the project name) is automatically created.

This is the trouble with volunteer communities - YOU don't have the time to do it, but you expect US to stop what we're doing and do your job for you.

At most, it would take 5 minutes to create a new solution file, add a module, add a sub/function, and then run the metrics.

Its not that I dont have the time , its I DONT  KNOW HOW to do it, how to create a function , what to write in the function ??

Visual Studio provides plenty of Help topics, as do other 'programming' web sites.

The best way to learn about something is to do a bit of research, then try something, then a bit more research, ...

Thank you for your help

The MSDN web site includes hundreds of sample projects to help you on your way - see https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/
DansDadUKCommented:
You could:

Download one of the sample projects.
Open the project in Visual Studio.
Use the "Calculate the Code Metrics" mechanism to obtain the estimated number of lines of code in the project/solution.
Add a few hundred dummy lines of comment to one or more of the .cs files in the project.
Recalculate the code metrics.
