Where can I find a download of Prefast for Visual Studio 2008?
I am not able find it through Google or the MSDN Website.
PREfast is included in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). Start here for instructions on how to get the WDK:

I'm not sure how easy it is to integrate into Visual Studio. Visual Studio 2008 includes a C/C++ analysis function (the /analyze option) which is similar in some ways to PREfast (but I'm not sure how similar - many articles seem to indicate it's the same thing).

I would like to know if I can somehow compile c++ code in visual studio express 2010 with a 2019/2022 compiler. I only want to use express 2010 as an editor. I get no results on google regarding this topic.
Edit: I can change from platform toolset V100 to V90 but I'd like V143 like VS 2022. Is it possible though?
It is possible, but why on earth would you want to continue using Visual Studio Express 2010 as your IDE? VS2022 is so full of goodies and the community edition is free to use.
That being said: The VS2019/VS2022 compilers are just cl.exe, link.exe etc... You can use these compilers instead of the VS2010 cl.exe, link.exe etc... The VS2010 integrated build system will not automatically find them, so you'll either have to fiddle around with paths, get in to trouble with compiler switches etc...
You could switch to makefiles (or CMake) to use the compilers and keep the IDE. VS2010 is then no more than a fancy editor.
Tip: Try compiling your code from the command line (cmd.exe) to get started. Or download VS2022 community edition.
i have downloaded CEF binaries from the link http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html as successfully created a .sln file using VS 2017.
But now our requirement is to compile the cef binaries on windows through MinGW or through command line(Do not want to use Microsoft visual studio).
can someone helpme out with this thing?
Only Visual Studio is officially supported to build CEF on Windows. You'll unlikely be successful to make a different compiler work in a reasonable time.
There is also ways to compile a VS project via the command line. Example: msbuild project.sln /Flags... For more details have a look at this stackoverflow link
If you ever want to compile libcef (Chromium) for Windows, the whole build is entirely command-line only despite using the Visual Studio compiler.
There is a free edition of Visual Studio called Visual Studio Community (used to be Visual Studio Express):
https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/
Also, if you are a small company, you might want to check out Microsoft's Action Pack for 400 EUR/year which includes 3 Visual Studio Prof. subscriptions.
Have a look at the CEF wiki:

I do not have enough points to comment on Eugen. Maybe someone can edit.
I think Eugen is right, and VS is a must. I suggest flowing also this link to learn how to build CEF programmatically and on different OS.
What is the difference between visual c++ and visual studio.
Also codes written in visual c++ do affect the portability and functionality of the code??
Visual C++ is one of the languages that is supported in the Visual Studio IDE. I'm not aware of a separate Visual C++ IDE, and relevant searches return information about working in Visual Studio.
These are all part of Microsoft's development platform, and as such they most easily target Windows platforms and .NET. Beyond that I'm not sure I understand your question about portability.
I remember seeing Visual C++ awhile back but Microsoft has moved to making Visual Studio their single IDE.
Check out this wiki link for more information. It says that Visual C++ has migrated into Visual Studio. However, it seems there might be some compatibility issues if you are using an older VS. I see you tagged VS2010 so you may want to read up on it depending on what functions you're using. Looks like VS2015 update 3 is the latest release that captures those functions.

How can I download an off-line installation of MSDN documentation of Visual Studio 2010 Express for Win32 and COM development, so that I don't have to download it again while installing on other computers?
The MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 may help.
For Visual Studio 2010, you can also just click on Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010\Visual Studio Tools\Manage Help Settings and then ask it to make help content available offline.
Visual Studio 2012/2013 Help Downloader is a tool for downloading the base Visual Studio MSDN package for offline installation.
Overview
Allows you to download the current published MSDN Library books in a new format for offline installation. Already downloaded book parts skipped for downloading on reuse.
Which version of the Express edition of Visual Studio can I use to work with Windows Forms programs written in JScript .NET? I did a quick search and I can see versions for Visual Basic, Visual C# and Visual C++ ... but not JScript.
Up until now I've just been editing in Notepad and compiling using jsc.exe, but debugging is starting to become a real pain. I'd like to be able to step through my code and locate the exact location of a bug.
Thanks.
You can write JScript code in any version of Visual Studio you want. For the Express editions, Visual Web Developer Express is a good choice.
The catch is that you cannot compile JScript code in the Visual Studio IDE. You have to perform this step either from the command line or via the ASP.NET page.
See MSDN for more details: Writing, Compiling, and Debugging JScript Code
