Answer 1

Yes, microsoft has removed the option, here is the response from microsoft (reference):

C++/CLI is a great solution for interop, but we do not recommend creating brand new UI applications using C++/CLI.

The workaround provided by the link is:

1. Create an empty C++ solution with both 2012RC and MSVC2010 Express.
2. Using 2010 Express, create a new WinForm App project inside the folder of the 2012RC empty solution. Close all saving.
3. Using 2012RC and the "add existing project", add the 2010 Express-WinForm App project into the empty 2012RC solution.
4. Right click on the project to convert it to 2012RC "format"

It works and it is simple! But I don’t know all the consequences.
