C++ is mutually incompatible with C, so no. However, Visual Studio has support for compiling C code as well as C++. Make sure the file is saved with a .c extension, so you invoke the C compiler and not the C++ one.

Disclaimer: I don't have Windows or Visual Studio, so the help I can offer is limited.
