## Create a project

To create a project, first choose a project-type template. For each project type, Visual Studio sets compiler settings and—depending on the type—generates starter code that you can modify later. The following steps vary depending on which version of Visual Studio you are using. To see the documentation for your preferred version of Visual Studio, use the **Version** selector control.
