Hi people!
Do you know if it's possible to programm c (not c++) in Visual Studio 2008? If yes then how? I haven't found any component for that.
Regards.

A:
You can specify any compiler you'd like in VisualStudio; therefore, if there's a specific C compiler you'd like to use, it will handle it.

A:
As long as your source file has the .c extension, Microsoft C++ compiler will compile in C-mode.
In addition, the /Tc<source filename> switch can be used to force compilation of a specific file in C mode, and the /TC switch can be used to force C mode for all files. For C++, it's /Tp and /TP respectively.

Do I get an exeption if my programm has some c++ code in this way?

You should do. It's a while since I programmed in C though

yes, any C++ constructs present in files that are being compiled in C mode will fail to compile

A:
Just save the file with .c extension instead of .cpp and it will compile as C instead of C++. To be extra cautious, you can go to the project settings, under "Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Advanced", make sure that "Compile As" says "Compile as C code (/TC)".
