Command Login to Windows Form

hello, I am a very new programmer interested in learning C++.

Instead of a background story, ill jump right into my question;

My program compiles okay, and my login works just fine, but as soon as i convert to CLR for runtime support or whatever the dialog box says, i get spammed with errors from the automatically generated code.

The original program is just a command prompt login, which would hopefully jump into a form in which i could put text and save, for a secure journal, if you will.

questions i have now:

1. How can i resolve these errors?
2. Is it even possible to go from a command prompt like this, into a windows form?
3. If it is possible, how do i get my form to save text, that can only be accessed through going through the login?
-------------------------------------------

I know i could hide a text file and just have this program call it from its hidden location, but that is not what i want. I want a secure journal application, are there any other ways i can go about this?

if so, can anyone point me in the right direction?



Anyone have any idea? Should i start with a windows form application instead? Will saving the otherwise unreadable text file require a dll to store the data? What do i need, where do i start?

Can i just use another console to type and save in instead? How?

bump!!!!!
Yeah i wouldn't help me either. What a great forum.
1- This is a C++ forum, not a C++/CLI one.

2- You were bumping the thread after half an hour?

3- You decided to be agressive and unpolite after waiting less than three hours? Ever heard of patience?
----------------------------------------




I didnt know that cli and c++ were so different. Thanks for the time.
