Compiling Files

You can select and compile files in any project in your project workspace.
To compile selected files
-
Select the files in the FileView pane of the Project Workspace window.
-
With the mouse pointer over the selection, click the right mouse button to display the shortcut menu, and click Compile.
-
If the project file you are compiling is dependent on any other file, such as a precompiled header (.PCH) file, you should first ensure that the dependent file exists and is up to date before compiling this file.
Note If you have specified a custom build rule (or rules) for a file, when you click Compile, Visual C++ runs that rule with the file as input, and produces the output specified.
