Vertical help lines only in TikZ
10
The following tiKz code gives you a 100x10 grid of help lines.
draw [help lines, dashed] (0,0) grid(100,10);
What is the code if you just want the 100 vertical helplines but not the 10 horizontal ones?

You can use ystep to fix the number of horizontal lines. For example, if you use ystep=10 with a 10 X 10 grid:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw [help lines, dashed,ystep=10] (0,0) grid(10,10);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
you get
And there is always brute force:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
foreach x in {0,...,9}{
draw [help lines, dashed] (x,0) -- (x,10);
}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
In the first answer, you can hide the bottom horizontal line but not the top with the code: begin{tikzpicture} draw [help lines, dashed,ystep=10] (0,1) grid(10,10); end{tikzpicture} The second answer works.

Since version 3.1 of TikZ you can use ystep=0 (or negative) to skip the vertical lines. And same for the horizontal lines with xstep=0.
documentclass[tikz,border=7pt]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[help lines, dashed] (0,0) grid[ystep=0] (10,10);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

@AndréC well the "bug" was the "bad" behavior of TikZ for zero or negative steps (I use quotation marks because this is subjective). And the final coordinate was not set as expected.

Since version 3.1 of TikZ you can use ystep=0 (or negative) to skip the vertical lines. And same for the horizontal lines with xstep=0.
documentclass[tikz,border=7pt]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[help lines, dashed] (0,0) grid[ystep=0] (10,10);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
