convert .net project to native

OK, I am new to the VS.
I created a Windows Form Designer application the other day, but apparently had it set up for the .NET framework.
I want this to be native, so I don't have to distribute anything along with my *.exe
Is there a way I can convert it
Or if I create a new project set as native can I add in the cpp and h files already created
or will I have to roll through the whole creation process all over again

Obviously there is something fundamental that I am just not "getting."
...but I'm getting there.

Thanks for bearing with me :)

Hi,

as you use with .net completly different classes, than you woul if you were programming a native app. It should be difficult to port your code 1:1 to native code. You will have to rewrite lots of your existing app.

Just as follow up question (sorry if this is simple) but just to make sure I understand correctly, I would use MFC to create a stand alone, native windows app, whereas the Windows Form Designer is used for when creating a .NET

Hi,

Visual C++ uses MFC.
Visual C++ .net uses Windows Forms.
