QUESTION

Is it possible to compile and link my C51 program from within Microsoft Visual Studio?

ANSWER

Yes, this is possible. There are several ways to do it:

1. You can launch µVision using the -b option to build a particular project. See µVision: Building Targets From the Command Line for more details on how to do this.
2. You can run a batch file that runs the compiler and linker to build your program.
3. You can run the compiler, assembler, and linker directly from within Visual studio to build your project.
