Answer 1

I believe it's a bookmark - it serves to let you find a particular bit of code again later.

Edit: it is indeed - see: http://msmvps.com/blogs/vipul/archive/2006/01/20/Visual-Studio-Bookmarks.aspx

Answer 2

Yes, it's a bookmark, and it's very useful when you want to move around your code. To set a new bookmark, use ctrl + k + k .

To move between bookmarks use the following:

• ctrl + k + n to move to the next bookmark.
• ctrl + k + p to move to the previous bookmark.

To remove a bookmark, press ctrl + k + k again on the same line.
