C#: why is there an asterisk on one of the code editor tabs in VS2005?

Does it have something to do with source control?

+10  A: 

It means there are unsaved modifications.

Press CTRL+s to save and it'll go away.

+6  A: 

It means the file has been modified, but not saved. When you save the tab (file), the asterisk will go away.

This has nothing to do with source control.

I accepted this answer because it answered the part about source control.

As the others said, it means unsaved changes. If you're not sure what you changed in the file, scroll down looking for yellow bars in the margin - they indicate lines with unsaved changes. Green bars mean lines with saved changes.
