If you don't know he version, how did you download the source code?

I doubt it is using asterisk itself. If it was, Linksys would be
required to make their version of the running code available to you.

At best, I am expecting you have firmware. Firmware is compiled
source code. You will not get much usefulness out of looking at the
firmware if you are asking the level of questions you are here. You
would already know these things.

Visual Studio would only be helpful if you had code written for the 
windows platform. There are plenty of other free IDEs out there.

For the short term, you should just use some text editor to look at the
code. notepad, wordpad, or such will display it. If you are looking at
the firmware, it will look like a bunch of garbage thrown around.
