    How can I compile C or C++ with Visual Studio .NET?

    I have hard time to find the instruction or tutorial on how can I compile C or C++ with Visual Studio .NET. The manual come in with .NET is joke.

    Please help? I want to start on C programming but I cannot find how to compile C. Thank you. I usually use MVC++ to compile C for me but MVC++ CD scratched and cannot install it anymore so I bought new product, VS.NET but couldn't find any instruction or tutorial on how to compile C in VS.NET on net (I did search thur google and no luck)

    What's the real problem?
    You don't have a lot of options, join in file, create a new project, create a new source file for the project, and compile, what's the problem?

    What did I do is pick C++ project > Win32 application template > change to Console application and empty project in application setting > right click on empty source folder > Add > Add New item > Visual C++ folder > C++ file (since no .c so I pick that one) > add C codes and I cannot compile since compile feature is not in that "Build" tab..

    I tried everything and nothing luck. I even save the source as .c in "save as" file but no compile.. Thanks.

    You tried to compile with the command line compiler that comes with Visual C++?

    I am not sure what you mean by that. I just bought .NET today and I just start to learn how to programming C today with Dietel book.
