different platform in MS Visual Studio

[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.

Mike

In case you were developing for more than one platform, which you are not. I
suggest you try the developer forums which include VS:
