Using both languages is a good idea and a great way to make yourself a better programmer, but keep in mind LabVIEW is a full programming language itself, not an IDE or simulator for C.

LabVIEW does have the ability to call C functions in libraries, but if you want to debug C code you should be using the tools with your C compiler/IDE. For the 2009 FRC you will have the Wind River Workbench for C/C++ development & debugging.

Check out http://ni.com/community/first for tutorials and information. You should also have example code included with the copy of LabVIEW in your 2008 FRC kit.
