Thread: Visual c++ 2005 express edition to run .c files

Hi, I'm new to the board and also to programming in c/c++. I'm trying to work my way through the book "A Book on c" by Kelley/Pohl". I have turbo c up and running on my laptop and can easily use it to compile and run .c programs.

I also downloaded the free edition of Microsoft Visual c++ 2005 express edition for the same purpose. However, I can't manage to use it to compile and run .c programs -- I can only manage .c++ programs mainly with the help of Google and Microsoft webpages.

Can MSVC++2005EE be used for programming in c? If so, would anyone be kind enough to tell me how to do so?

Thanks very much.
