title: How to compile and execute C program on Visual Studio 2012 for Windows 8?
body: <p>I was looking for a C compiler for Windows 8 and then came to know that I can compile C programs on Visual Studio.</p>
  
  <p>Microsoft offers a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb384838.aspx" rel="nofollow">walkthrough</a> for the same, but I don't like it since it includes writing program in text editor and use of command prompt frequently, I am looking for more like a Turbo C++ interface.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway I can run and compile programs directly in Visual Studio 2012 for windows 8 itself? </p>
  
  <p>Or if that's not possible, what alternatives I have for windows 8? </p>
