Background compilation/On save compilation in Visual Studio C++ - c++

I saw a video about Clang and plugin for Sublime Text allowing autocompilation on save. Can I do something like this in Visual Studio 2015? Maybe with an extension?
Thank you

How to set a custom extension in Visual Studio Code

I enjoy writing code in Visual Studio Code. But the .tpl extension in Opencart is actually a file with PHP and HTML, but Visual Studio Code does not recognize this extension. Is it possible to teach Visual Studio Code to open .tpl as html? I mostly do the code in PS pad. Thank you, Ondra
I tried searching on google and didn't find much. Maybe I can't ask the question.

Is MinGW required to run C++ on Visual studio

I am clearing space in my harddrive and MinGW is downloaded on to the Hardrive. I needed MinGW for the Atom Text Editor, which I am not using anymore. If I delete the MinGW application will C++ still work for Visual Studio 2019?
Microsoft Visual Studio and MinGW are totally different application.
Microsoft Visual Studio is IDE and have its own compiler for C++, which is why you needed MinGW for Atom Text Editor since its an editor and you needed a compiler for it.
So yeah, even if you delete the MinGW application C++ will still work for Visual Studio 2019.

Can I open an existing Visual Studio Project (C++) on MAC?

I am using this C++ book for a college class. I have a MAC and have installed Visual Studio (Visual Studio Community 2019 for Mac Version 8.3.11 (build 1)) and am trying to open the code examples supplied with the book. The book includes examples for Visual Studio as well as xcode. I am able to open the xcode projects, however when I try and open the VS examples (.sln file) I get the error message "This project type not supported..." (see image below). Is there a way to fix this?
Visual Studio for MAC does NOT support C++.

Open a vdproj file with VS Community 2017?

I retrieved a C++ VS project from 2011 and it has a Install-win32.vdproj I guess it has to be the file I need to open in order to build the project.
Unfortunately Visual Studio 2017 seems not to recognize this kind of file. Is there any ways to interpret it or convert it?
For VS2017, use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects. Download link is below. Be sure to close Visual Studio before running the installer:

Directed Graph Markup Language No Longer Recognized with Visual Studio 2017

After installing Visual Studio 2017, I just noticed that my Directed Graph Markup Language(.dgml) files can no longer be opened in a visual-designer for editing; it only opens to see the internal format of the file. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Is .DGML no longer supported with Visual Studio 2017?
In case some people arent aware of what this is/was, here's a picture:
And here is my .dgml file, which was recognized and loaded in Visual Studio 2015 without a problem.

Nevermind, I figured it out. I guess that Visual Studio no longer installs this by default. You have to go in to the Visual Studio Installer->Modify, and tick the box.
