How to enable Assembly Language support in Visual Studio 2015

Answer 1

Despite what sanaris said, it IS possible to build masm using VS2015. However this is a trick you have to know.

You will need to right click on the project (not the solution) and select "Build Dependencies/Build Customizations". From there, check the "masm" box.

That's it. Now asm files will be built using ml and linked in to your executable as expected.

Note that this is basically the sames as the instructions for VS2010, except that there is one more layer of menu (must look under Build Dependencies).

If you already have asm files added to your project, they probably got added as "Does not participate in build." You can either remove/re-add them, or right click on the file and change the "Item Type" to "Microsoft Macro Assembler."
