Visual Studio is just an IDE that helps you to develop your project. To use OpenCV library on windows, you have to add the IncludePath, LibraryPath, and link the ddl libs. In fact Visual Studio make all the stuff easier.

There might be another solution by using MingGW compiler, but it is not recommended since you are using Windows and Visual Studio is the better choice.
