How to use Visual Studio to compile EDKII packages

Before doing this task, please make sure that you can compile EDKII packages with your own work space.

1.  Create a new folder for your own package:

2.  Create and modify .dsc and .dec files for your package.
3.  Create a new folder in your package for applications or anything else you want to build in your package.
4.  Create all files for your own modules such as:

5.  Create a batch file for compiling your package like:

     And the following script is used to do some compiler tasks like "Build", "Build All" or "Clean":

 call %CD%\..\edksetup.bat reconfig  
 if not "%1"=="" goto ALL  
 build -a X64 -p MyPkg\MyPkg.dsc --log=build.log  
 goto end  
 :ALL  
 if not "%1"=="all" goto CLEAN  
 ECHO ALL  
 build %1 -p MyPkg\MyPkg.dsc --log=build.log  
 goto end  
 :CLEAN  
 if not "%1"=="clean" goto X86  
 ECHO CLEAN  
 build %1 -p MyPkg\MyPkg.dsc --log=build.log  
 echo %1  
 goto end  
 :X86  
 if not "%1"=="32" goto X64  
 ECHO Build X86  
 build -a IA32 -p MyPkg\MyPkg.dsc --log=build.log  
 goto end  
 :X64  
 if not "%1"=="64" goto other  
 ECHO Build X64  
 build -a X64 -p MyPkg\MyPkg.dsc --log=build.log  
 goto end  
 :other  
 echo ERROR ! Input variable  
 goto end  
 :end  

6. New a Project:

     And select the type of "Visaul C++":

     Select the project file location and choose all type of files in your project:

     Select building method:

     Type building commands as below:

Done!

Now you can compile your EDKII package by visaul studio IDE.
