What does this symbol mean in my Visual Studio IDE? Not the green bar, I already know that is source code. The little button icon?
The little button is a bookmark. There is a menu that you can add on the top of the screen that allows you to move through bookmarks. It is another way to mark where you were in a piece of code.

is there a way to hide the Visual Studio toolbar only while coding? For example, when I'm on the Designer page I'm gonna need the toolbar to edit the GUI, but it's useless when coding, so I only want to hide it while coding.
I am assuming you mean Toolbox, if not my apologies.
You can set it to auto-hide by left clicking and picking the appropriate option. This should hide it once you are done selecting the Control.
I am trying to learn Visual Basic with the guidance of some YouTube Tutorials. They have recommended the use of Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 as it has a built in compiler. I encountered a problem where my toolbox bar on the left of my screen is empty. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just right click inside tools and click on "show all"
Your code may be running. Make sure to stop all processes and view the toolbox again.
On Visual Studio C++ 2012, it also happen sometimes. Try, to right click inside the Toolbox dialog and click on "Reset Toolbox" item. It should solve your problem.

What you need to do is to open your code in [Design] view. In this view you don't see the code as text, but rather as windows and buttons and so on.
Choose your favorite way to switch to the [Design] view :
A. View > Designer
B. Shift + F7
C. In the Solution Explorer window double click Form1.cs

I'm trying to find the System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar control in the ToolBox for a Visual Studio 2010 Windows Forms Project in Visual Basic. I cannot seem to see it. Is it somewhere in the "Common Controls" or "Containers" sections? I cannot see it. If someone can tell me what controls are to the top and bottom of it I would appreciate it.
Thanks
It's not there by default, because it's been replaced by the newer (and much nicer) StatusStrip control.
If you really need it, you can add it to any tab by right-clicking, then clicking Choose Items:
i'm writing a visual studio 2010 extension and got a ToolWindow with a ToolWindowToolbar.
in my toolbar i want to add a split button that while pressing the button (left part) will show the 'open file' dialog, and when pressing the arrow (right part) will show a list of recently opened files.
