That's not all you have to do to build a C program. You also need to change Compiler mode to actually compile as C programs. Citation from Microsoft Docs:
"You can create a C-language project by using C++ project templates. In the generated project, locate files that have a .cpp file name extension and change it to .c. Then, on the Project Properties page for the project (not for the solution), expand Configuration Properties, C/C++ and select Advanced. Change the Compile As setting to Compile as C Code (/TC)."

For those who can't see the screen that well just do this: Open Visual Studio 2019 -> Click 'New Project' (Ctrl+Shift+N) -> Choose From the Languages Dropdown (beneath the Search for templates (Alt+S) textbox -> Choose C++ -> Select 'Empty Project' -> Once Project is Created, Right Click the Project and Choose 'Add' > Select 'New Item' (Ctrl+Shift+A) -> Name the file with a .c extension, instead of .cpp -> Click Add. DONE!

Thanks man, been so much Java I've forgotten how to set up a c programming page in visual studio to get started. Straight to the point, but all the info. Thanks!

That's a simple and good video. There are still people that disliked it... I can't believe it

How do you get the compiler to sync with VS? This should have been titled "Installing C/C++ Extension in Visual Studio" You skipped the most important part for first-time users in getting the compiler to work with VS.

Thank you, Programmer Tube, for sharing.

Thank you. Without this video, that wouldn't have been intuitive at all. Liked and subscribed.

Thanks for teaching. Really good for beginners.

stdio.h requires that you have the correct library referenced by VS. If you get an error "warning MSB8003: The WindowsSDKDir property is not defined. Some build tools may not be found." You need to open Tools > Get Tools and Features > Individual Components. type "windows 10" in the search bar. check a box next to a windows 10 sdk and install. Otherwise you might not have WindowsSDKDir referenced in your VS corrrectly.

Clear, informative, and straight to the point. Good job!

Thanks. Did a similar thing by creating a console program and THEN just renaming the file extension to .c in the solution explorer window.

So much easier than using VSC. Thank you.
