I suggest using a Visual-C++ Makefile-Project.  At the project properties it 
asks for the nmake command to trigger the
  build
  rebuild
  clean
process.  Give it the proper bjam command line, it will just work.  I 
personally prefer an extra Makefile to assemble the bjam command line there, 
but its not necessary.

The same way it works for Eclipse-CDT, in case you prefer the gnu-toolchain.
