I don't know why you would post this in a Visual Basic forum.

You shouldn't really need a separate template for C - just change your source file's
extension from .CPP to .C and the C compiler will be used automatically.

This question should be moved to the Visual Studio General Questions forum:

FYI, there is no built-in C-language template but you can still use Visual Studio:

Hi Lasharie,

There is no built-in C project/item template in Visual Studio. As other people suggested, you do’t need a separate C template, you can change the source file’s extention from .cpp to .c in order to work with C in VS.

For C template, you could submit this feature request:

The Visual Studio product team is listening to user voice there. You can send your ideas/suggestions there and people can vote.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best regards,
