How to compile a C pgm using MS Visual C++?

[Cat123]

Hi, I just want to compile a simple "hello world" program in MS Visual C++. I addded /TC to the compile options under the project settings menu. But it complains at:

#include <stdio.h>

Also, it gives the source file the .cpp extension instead of the .c extension. It did this when I created the project using the wizard by asking for a win32 console application. (I tried changing the extension manually, but it didn't work)


How can I NOT use the wizard to compile a simple C program? (I'd rather not do it at the command line....)


Thank You!

10 Type in your program
