c++ - windows form CLR application in Visual studio 2012 RC?

Question

quick question, im just trying out VS2012 and trying to make a c++.net app but for the life of me i cant find the option anymore when making a new project.

In vs2008 it used to be under new project>visual c++> CLR>windwos form application.

Have they removed the option to make c++/CLR application in .net from vs2012? Or is it something i must download?

Answer 1

Although Microsoft removed the option to create a C++/CLI Windows Forms application, the template files are still installed. The only thing missing seems to be the .vsz files and a registration in the vcNET.vcdir file. I have recreated these files and put them up for download here.

Install the files and you should be able to create WinForm apps in C++/CLI again.
