Using different compiler in Visual Studio

Question

This maybe a beginner question but could not find proper answer on the internet. I am curious can I use some other compiler (which I like) in Visual Studio 10?

Answer 1

You can use other compiler Intel c++ in VS. I don't think any other compiler supports VS.The main reason behind it is lack of plug-ins in VS. But you can use cmake scripts to compile your code in different compilers. With eclipse you can use most of the compilers (VS,gcc). Code blocks also allows you to choose the compilers.
