用cl构建对于c ++程序意味着什么？

Question

the file comclient.cpp here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa645738(v=vs.71).aspx says build with cl. what does that mean?

and also what type of project should I create n vc++? win32, console?

Answer 1

its the commandline compiler for visual studio for visualc++. Visual studio itself is just a mere IDE to help you code easier. Just like Devcpp has gcc and g++ as its compilers.
