Integrating the Intel® C++ Compiler with Visual C++* .NET*

The following topics discuss integrating the Intel® C++ Compiler with Microsoft* Visual Studio* .NET*.

After completing these topics you should be able to:

  • use either the Intel C++ Compiler or the Microsoft compiler to compile your project from within Visual Studio .NET.
  • use either the Intel C++ Compiler or the Microsoft compiler to compile a specific file within the project from within Visual Studio .NET
  • set the PATH, INCLUDE and LIB environment variables
  • set Intel Compiler options for a project

This release of the Intel C++ Compiler provides limited support for building Microsoft Visual C++ projects from within Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. The Intel C++ Compiler Integration lets you use either the Intel C++ compiler or the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler to build Visual C++ .NET projects. Please note that support for new Visual C++ .NET features is limited to those features required to build Visual C++ 6.0 projects that have been directly converted to Visual C++ .NET projects without the use of additional Visual C++ .NET features. See Visual C++* .NET* Compatibility in the Intel C++ Compiler user's guide for more information.
