Thanks for the answers!

You can utilize a (.m) file in MS Visual Studio in two ways:

1. Compiling the (.m) file using MATLAB Compiler , and then refer to the resulting DLL in your Visual Studio Program

2. Call the (.m) file using MATLAB Engine from your program.

Below is an example of calling "script.m" file in a C++ program using MATLAB Engine.

   /*  A simple program to illustrate how to call MATLAB Engine functions from a C++ program.*/

using namespace std;
#include "engine.h"
int main() 
{
  Engine *ep;
  /*
   * Call engOpen with a NULL string. This starts a MATLAB process 
        * on the current host using the command "matlab".
   */
  if (!(ep = engOpen(""))) 
          {
    fprintf(stderr, "\nCan't start MATLAB engine\n");
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

         /* 
     *  Now call the MATLAB script that through MATLAB Engine
     */
          engEvalString(ep, "script");
          cout << "Hit return to continue\n\n";
          fgetc(stdin);

         /*
     * Close the MATLAB Engine
     */
          engClose(ep);
      return EXIT_SUCCESS;
  }

3. If you adhere to the MATLAB subset supported for code generation, you could also generate C or C++ code from your MATLAB code using MATLAB Coder and then call that code from your Visual Studio project.

I think you'd need to compile it into a mex file with the MATLAB Compiler, and then call it as a DLL from your Visual Studio program. You might be able to use MATLAB Coder - I don't know because I don't have that product.

I have written in visual studio 2013 then how to execute in matlab

[Image Analyst]

To have MATLAB execute/launch a program you've created in Visual Studio, use the system() function. Pass in the full file name of the executable you made in Visual Studio into the system() function.
