Note
DevSkim is a framework of IDE plugins and Language analyzers that provide inline security analysis in the dev environment as the developer writes code. It is designed to work with multiple IDEs (VS, VS Code, etc.), and has a flexible rule model that supports multiple programming languages.
This developer documentation applies to Visual Studio 2015 and later. To see the documentation for your preferred version of Visual Studio, use the Version selector control. It's found at the top of the table of contents on this page.
Can you compile C code in Visual Studio.NET? If so, can you please submit the proper steps in order to do this. Yes, you can. Go to Project and Properties, then somewhere in the myriad of options you'll see 'Compile as C' where you can change it to 'Compile as C'. And while you're at it. 学校情况， 除软件工程学院外，计算机系等基本都是使用Dev C的IDE。学校也买了企业版的VS版权。个人觉得VS使用体验比Dev C好很多。并且配合Visual Assistant可以高效写代码。同学请教c使用Dev C在没有插件和网络的情况下，我发现很难写出一个函数的正确参数.
If you are looking for a Visual C++ redistributable package so that you can run a program, go to the Microsoft Download Center and enter Visual C++ in the search box.
Microsoft Visual C++, usually shortened to Visual C++ or MSVC, is the name for the C++, C, and assembly language development tools and libraries available as part of Visual Studio on Windows. These tools and libraries let you create Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, native Windows desktop and server applications, cross-platform libraries and apps that run on Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS, as well as managed apps and libraries that use the .NET Framework. You can use Visual C++ to write anything from simple console apps to the most sophisticated and complex apps for Windows desktop, from device drivers and operating system components to cross-platform games for mobile devices, and from the smallest IoT devices to multi-server high performance computing in the Azure cloud.
Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 can be installed side-by-side. You can use Visual Studio 2019 (compiler toolset v142) to edit and build programs using the toolset from Visual Studio 2015 (v140) and Visual Studio 2017 (v141).
