Visual Build integrates with Microsoft Visual Studio via add-ins:

 

Visual Studio 2002 - 2008 Add-In

An add-in for launching Visual Build is added to the Visual Studio .NET 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2008 IDE during installation.  To enable the add-in in Visual Studio, choose Tools | Add-In Manager on the menu and check Visual Build VS.NET Add-in (also check the Startup checkbox to make the add-in available each time the IDE is started).  Then, Visual Build can be launched by choosing Tools | Visual Build from the Visual Studio menu bar or by typing VisBldProVS7.Connect.VisBldProVS7 in the Command Window.  A new Make VS.NET action will be created and pre-populated with the filename for the current workspace.

 

Visual Basic 6.0 Add-In

After Visual Build is installed, a toolbar button for Visual Build is added to the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE.  Visual Build can be started by clicking the button or by choosing Add-Ins | Visual Build from the menu bar.  A new Make VB6 action will be created and pre-populated with the filename for the current project or group.

 

Visual C++ 6.0 Add-In

A toolbar button for Visual Build is added to the Visual C++ 6.0 IDE during installation.  Visual Build can be started by clicking the button (a keystroke can also be associated with the wizard by selecting Tools | Customize | Keyboard from the menu, choosing a Category of Add-ins, selecting VisBuildProCommand from the list, entering a keystroke in the 'Press new shortcut key' field, and clicking Assign).  A new Make VC6 action will be created and pre-populated with the filename for the current workspace.
