Those are Bookmarks.

The Bookmarks window is a handy companion tool to the Code Editor. You can mark lines in your code files with bookmarks and then organize these bookmarks into virtual folders. This enables you to open files and navigate directly to the lines marked simply by clicking entries in the Bookmarks window.

In most Visual Studio programming languages, you can also create Task List shortcuts and comments.

As with bookmarks, you can click on any entry in the Task List to open a file and jump to the line of code marked.

See this and this.
