Forgive me, but I don't know the technical term to know what to search for.
I am trying to find a way to keep track of changes in my code during the development of my program. something that would allow me to go back to a section of code that I deleted. I am not talking about "undo". But rather a way that would let me keep track or be able to retrieve a section of my code that I deleted but now want it back.
Is there such a way? If there is, then what is this whole system/procedure called? Is there something that integrates with Visual Studio 2010?

When we want to develop a program by using any programming language, we have to follow a sequence of steps. These steps are called phases in program development. The program development life cycle is a set of steps or phases which are used to develop a program in any programming language.
Version control software keeps track of every modification to the code in a special kind of database. If a mistake is made, developers can turn back the clock and compare earlier versions of the code to help fix the mistake while minimizing disruption to all team members.
you could use
SVN or GIT
but for local use, I would prefer SVN. its free and its easy. For visual studio there are a few SVN client plugins (like VisualSVN). But, I would suggest TortoiseSVN as the client.
To be clear, SVN is the server, TortoiseSVN is the client. (Both are free open source tools)
