Sometimes on the right side of any Visual Studio tab there will be a little padlock symbol. What is it?
I thought it was something like source-control, but my solution is not checked in source-control.
EDIT: Thank you for your answers so far, BUT I can edit the files. When I am in debug mode it has also this padlock sign, but when I am holding my mouse over the tab I can read "Read-Only". Not in debug-mode (normal edit mode, nothing running), there is also the padlock symbol. But when I hold my mouse over the tab there is no readonly text.
Is there an other definition of the padlock sign? Or how can I see the padlock sign while editing my normal source code (and no debugging running)?

When you go to a site that has a padlock icon next to the site name, it means the site is secured with a digital certificate. This means that any information sent between your browser and the website is sent securely, and can't be intercepted and read by someone else while the information is in transit.
Padlock icon by browser A padlock icon can look different between different browsers and on different devices. Usually, the icon is located near the URL bar.
The lock icon in Windows indicates that the file or folder can only be accessed by you, and not any other user on your computer. If this is desired, then the lock icon is a good way to ensure that those settings are in place. If this isn't your intention, then it's an eyesore.
Hi, The lock symbol indicates that the permissions on the photos are set for your access only. The lock (padlock) overlay icon appears for files/folders which are private, but located under a non-private directory.
If you're using version control (in my case - git) paddlock also indicates that the file is "locked" for a commit.
After any change in the file it changes to red tickmark. Then if you commit changes to this file it switches back to paddlock.
