I'm new to the Fix protocol and I've been trying to find a way to implement it into c++ files starting from a XML description file. So by searching on the net they recommended me with Quickfix, what I really want to know is what do we should call QuickFix? A library or a standard or what exactly?

But my main problem is that lately I downloaded the Quickfix package then I couldn't integrate it into my c++ project even with the QuickFix documentation ( which was vague by the way !) so can someone please describe to me exactly step by step how to configure QuickFix with My Visual c++ project and how can I eventually write this code to parse my XML file:

```
#include "Application.h"
#include "quickfix/Session.h"

```
