I have a copy of Visual Studio 2005 and Borland Delphi but I'm at a
loss to find where I can start to code C applications, they all give me
options to work in C++ but as I am dealing with embedded systems and
PIC devices I can't use it.

Does anyone know if I can get Visual Studio, I think its better than
Borland, to work with C or failing that what is the best C programing
tool?
You may need something specific to your device or PIC. E.g. MicroChip
has their own C compiler for their PIC line, and there are third party
compilers specific to certain devices as well.

Depending on what you're doing, you may be able to use Visual Studio -
files that end in .c (not .cc or .cpp) are by default compiled as C
code, or you can set file-by-file or project-by-project settings to
compile as C instead of as C++ (under C/C++ Advanced). To write stuff
for an embedded device, you may need to download extensions that
support WinCE, which can be found by googling.

I am wiping tears from my eyes from laughing so hard, but I just had
to respond even though it's way off-topic...

The notion of the incredible resource hogging, bloated POS WinCE
running on a PIC!

Pull the other one.

No one ever said it had to run *well*.

On a PIC? Not at all.
