Thanks for the link, but i supose this is specific to '.C' files. Does this work with '.M' files too?

Yes, this works if your purpose is to call a C program from Matlab.

If, alternatively, you want to turn your Matlab program to C, use the Matlab Coder:

and debug the resulting C codes as regular C codes,

while the initial m-files can be debugged in Matlab the usual way without VS.
