I am not sure, I have read online but I guess I dont seem to understand the difference between C++/CLI and VC++. Any assistance to help me see it in a better way would be great.

The answer you got, is wrong.

C++/CLI is Microsoft's extensions to C++, which allow/cause you to use the .NET framework in C++. It's main use is to provide a way of interop between C++ code and .NET code, apart from that, no-one seriously uses it. You can write console and windows apps in C++/CLI, you can even write WPF apps, but not as easily as you can with C# or VB.NET because there is no XAML support. Which is insane.

VC++ is what they used to call the stand alone IDE for C++ from Microsoft, before it all became integrated.
