Is there a quick way to determine whether a Visual Studio C++ project is written in plain C++ or Visual C++?

A:
No -- Visual C++ will compile most plain C++ without any problems. If you want to check for use of Windows-specific "stuff", checking for inclusion (directly or indirectly) of <windows.h> would probably be a reasonable start.

A:
If is Visual C++ it usually has a project.sln or project.vcproj file in the project directory.

Yes but you can have plain C++ *.vcproj files as well.

A:
If any files include the lines #pragma once or #include "stdafx.h", it's very likely Visual C++.
(Are there any other compilers that implement #pragma once?)

If I'm not mistaken, `#pragma once` originated on (and is still supported by) gcc.
