If build works for you from command prompt, then change the source code and again build from command prompt, your changes will get compiled.
However it should be built from visual studio as well, can u check by adding perl\bin path in
VC++ Directories for Executable files (Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories), also check if platform sdk is present in path, and path for bison,flex executables.
