Solution 1

Firstly: there is no "Visual Studio 2009" I assume you mean "Visual Studio 2008".

Secondly:
1) Open VS.
2) On the "File" menu, select "New...Project"
3) Under "Project types" on the left hand side, select "Other Languages...Visual C++" then choose "CLR" and on the right hand side "Windows Forms Application"
4) Give it a name, and press OK
5 After a short delay, you will be presented with a blank form, and a toolbox of controls you can fill it with.

Over to you now!

I have no idea what Visual Studio 2009 is, but if you get one of Microsoft's versions of Visual Studio, or Visual C++ Express, they have sample code and links to lots of tutorials which can get you started.

This is an excellent place to start learning:
Windows Forms[^]

There is also this:
Visual Studio 2010 - Visual C++ .NET Programming Guide[^]
