Microsoft Visual C++ is Microsoft's implementation of the C and C++ compiler and associated languages-services and specific tools for integration with the Visual Studio IDE. It can compile either in C mode or C++ mode.
For a number of years, Microsoft shipped individual development tools like Visual C++ and Visual Basic, but starting in 1997 they began offering Visual Studio, which combined all of these environments into one application. (The separate applications are still available for purchase, but are far less popular.).
