Well, many people have faced this problem. Here is what I follow:

Create a Visual C++ --> CLR --> CLR Empty Project (Obviously you specify the Name and the Directory).

Once it gets created, right-click on the project and select "Add --> New Item".

Under the UI tab, select "Windows Form". Name your form and click OK. This form would get added to the project.

After the form gets added, copy the following code inside the YourFormName.cpp:

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;

[STAThread]
void Main(array^ args)
{
    Application::EnableVisualStyles();
    Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Project1::MyForm myForm;        //NameOfProject::NameOfForm instanceOfForm;
    Application::Run(%myForm);
}

We're almost done...

Now under the Project Properties, expand the Linker section and select "System". Under the subsystem option, choose Windows(/SUBSYSTEM/WINDOWS)

Now add an entry point. Under the "Linker-->Advanced", choose "Main" as the "Entry Point"

Build and Run..Voila!!

P.S.: This is only an empty form ;)
