Visual C++ 2008 CLR Project
Can someone direct me to an instructional on how to use the CLR in Visual C++? I am working on a program, and think that it will look great as using the Windows components, such as forms, list boxes, etc, but I am unfamiliar about how to use them. Is there an instructional that can show me how to put a program together using these? I want to see about converting the program that I am writing into a form and windows application.
Can someone direct me to an instructional, or to some example programs on how to use the forms and labels and such in Visual C++ 2008?
Thanks in advance. Once again, this is NOT a school assignment, its a program that I am writing for myself.
FYI - I am trying to do this without using pointers, because I am not too familiar with those as of yet. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If the CLR isn't a good choice, can someone tell me the best source to use so that I can take advantages of forms and text boxes to give my programs a better look? Is there something else within Visual Studio 2008 that may work better?

I would recommend using C# instead, C++ with CLR is basically Microsoft's own twist on C++ that doesn't follow the standard. If you want to use .Net then C# would be your best bet. Otherwise GUI using C++ is a bit tedious. You will need to use a third party library such as Qt, wxWidgets, etc... There are numerous thread on this site that recommend GUI libs to use.
