Is there any way to know if I'm compiling under Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 ?
A:
In visual studio, go to help | about and look at the version of Visual Studio that you're using to compile your app.

A:
_MSC_VER should be defined to a specific version number. You can either #ifdef on it, or you can use the actual define and do a runtime test. (If for some reason you wanted to run different code based on what compiler it was compiled with? Yeah, probably you were looking for the #ifdef. :))

I was talking from the code's "point of view" . I would like to add a #ifdef , that would change a bit the code , if compiling under WinCE . There are a couple of methods that are different from the PC version.

You should probably post a new question about this, because if you change your question it won't make sense.CE builds define _WIN32_WCE as the CE version, e.g. 5.0 = 500, 4.2 = 420 etc.

A:
_MSC_VER is what you need. You can also examine visualc.hpp in any recent boost install for some usage examples.
Some values for the more recent versions of the compiler are:
MSVC++ 9.0 _MSC_VER = 1500
MSVC++ 8.0 _MSC_VER = 1400
MSVC++ 7.1 _MSC_VER = 1310
MSVC++ 7.0 _MSC_VER = 1300
MSVC++ 6.0 _MSC_VER = 1200
MSVC++ 5.0 _MSC_VER = 1100
The version number above of course refers to the major version of your Visual studio you see in the about box, not to the year in the name.

This is a little old but should get you started:
//******************************************************************************

#if (_WIN32_WCE == 300) // for Pocket PC

//#ifdef WIN32_PLATFORM_HPC2000 // for H/PC 2000 (Galileo)
#endif
A:
Yep _MSC_VER is the macro that'll get you the compiler version.
You can use code like this:
#if (_MSC_VER >= 1500 && _MSC_VER < 1600)
// ... Do VC9/Visual Studio 2008 specific stuff
#endif
