Check this extension:

Duplicate Selection extension : http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/830a6482-3b8f-41a8-97b5-b9c581e5ad8b

Duplicate the line without touching the clipboard (as Notepad++ does).

Just to make it absolutely clear

ctrl-C at the start of a line copies the whole line without your needing to select it

Ctrl-C should copy the whole line from anywhere on the line. – 10gistic Jan 24 '13 at 15:05

Copying and pasting isn't the same as duplicating as ctrl+D in N++ preserves the contents of the clipboard. In VS2010 I had a macro to do this but macros don't seem to be around anymore :-( If anyone knows a way to do it again in 2012 that would be really helpful. – Ben Mar 07 '13 at 09:38

Here's a list of keyboard shortcuts, but don't see a duplicate on it. Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V may be your best bet or see if there's something you can define under Tools>Options>Keyboard.
