CDT doesn't provide support for Microsoft compilers in the same way that it
does for gcc and mingw.
If you already have been using Visual C++ then you can extract the nMake
file from it and use it
to drive the compilation of your code from CDT. I am sure the FAQ and
documentation provide information
about how to drive your own make type tool from cdt when you want to build
your project.

You need to ensure the MS command line tools are on the path, I seem to
remember an installation option
that creates a vcvars32.bat file which sets up your path correctly so you
have access to nmake, cl and link.
Run this before starting eclipse.

You cannot use the CDT debugger to debug your application. You will either
have to use the visual studio
ide with its in built debugger, or download the debugging tools from
microsoft which contains a debugger
you can configure your eclipse environment to launch (as an external tool)
the debugger and automatically load your program ready for debugging.
