Set C as default in VS2008?
-
Is it possible to set C as the default to convert and compile in rather than c++? If that is not possible, how do I set a specific project to C rather than C++? (Trying to get a vb6 converted to native c rather than c++ without total rewrite.) Thank You, Don

Why don't you give the
c(instead ofcpp) extension to your files? :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong. -- Iain Clarke

The compiler driver works out what type of source file it's got based on the extension you give it. Call it .cpp and it'll use the C++ compiler, .c and it'll use the C compiler. You can overide this on a per source file basis by using /TC (compile as C) and /TP (compile as C++). It's an advanced option in the properties of the project. Cheers, Ash
