c++ - what's the relation of "win32 project" name in visual studio to x86 or x64 platfrom -

i'm using visual studio c++ programming , , after working , writing programs in x86 environment (32bit mode) tried build x86 project in x64 environment thought should create win64 console project instead of win32 console project there not such option in vc2010 . want ask building x64 projects should choose win32 project , change settings compiling in x64 inside project using instruction in here?

i'm using windows 7 64bit.

if answer yes why called win32 ?

• "win32" name of os api.
• "win32 console application" got name api (not bit-ness).

win32 api can used both 32-bit , 64-bit applications. so, win32 console application can built both 32-bit , 64-bit. latter, create "x64" configuration in configuration manager.
