different platform in MS Visual Studio

[Guest Mike]

Hi

 

I am a newbie in Microsoft visual studio.

According to the documentation, the solution can contain several

projects. Each project can run with different platform with Win32 or

x64.

I don't understand this. I use Win32. Then I cannot run this

solution on x64, can I? If I use x64 window OS, why should I choose

Win32 platform?

 

Thank you in advance.

In case you were developing for more than one platform, which you are not. I

suggest you try the developer forums which include VS:
