You can change the project type in the project properties dialog.
 
You also need to inherit your class from the 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'
class which will automatically activate Form Designer support (very nice
detail).
Remember to add a reference to the System.Windows.Forms dll.

This is the minimum code for a Windows Application:

--- Code --------------------------------
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace MyNamespace
{
class MyClass : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.Run( new MyClass() );
}
}
}
------------------------------------------

(To show what you created in the Form Designer you need to call
InitializeComponent() from the class constructor)

good luck, Teis
