Can I mix C++ and C in a single project in Visual Studio?

Question

I have a a Win32 DLL project in VS2008, it is written in a handful of C modules.
Because I also want to be able to build outside VS2008, with no dependency on VS200

Answer 1

There's absolutely no problems mixing C and C++ in the same project. All you'll need to do it to design your interface between C and C++ modules in tems of C functions and C data structures, an then make sure that those interface functions are declared on C++ side with C-linkage specifier extern "C".
