Conform to C++98 standard : C/C++:Language:Disable language extensions: Yes (/Za) Disable exceptions : C/C++:Code Generation:Enable C++ Exceptions: No
Building a project from the command line:
vcvars32.bat msbuild something.vcxproj
Compiling a single source file from the command line:
vcvars32.bat cl file.cpp
Or create a BATCH:
@call vcvars32.bat >nul :: /Zi = debug information :: /wd5430 = disable annoying warning from the MS standard library handling disabled exceptions badly @cl /Zi /wd4530 /nologo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
Debug from command-line:
vcvars32.bat devenv /debugexe file.exe
Making a BATCH file for single-command compilation, e.g. mscompile.bat:
@call vcvars32.bat >nul @cl /nologo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
Use like this:
mscompile.bat myfile.cpp
Default 'Show all files' mode:
Tools:Options:Projects and Solutions:VC++ Project Settings:Solution Explorer Mode = Show all files
Dont' show Output window:
Tools:Options:Projects and Solutions:Show Output window when build starts = false
Forward slash in #include:
Tools:Options:Text Editor:C/C++:IntelliSense:Use Forward Slash in #include ...:True
Build only project on F7:
Tools:Options:Environment:Keyboard: remove F7 for Build.BuildSolution and assign F7 to Build.BuildOnlyProject
Ctrl+U: edit using Vim:
Tools:External Tools:Add Command: %PROGRAMFILES%\Vim\vim72\gvim.exe Arguments: --remote-tab-silent +$(CurLine) $(ItemPath) Tools:Options:Environment:Keyboard:Tools.ExternalCommand7 (7 being the external command number of the Vim command) Assign Ctrl+U
Disable anti-aliasing: Consolas has some sort of built-in anti-aliasing, so switch to e.g. Andale Mono.

If you are developing a DLL, it is easier to debug if you compile it as a static library, until it is ready for deployment. Change 'Configuration Type' to 'Static Library (.lib)' temporarily.
