Visual C++ with .NET

[novellof]

Is this worth putting time into?

I would elaborate but I don't know anything as to what I am doing only think I know, is that I am creating a Form with c++ and .net..

Microsoft don't want you making Windows Forms Applications with C++/CLI, they have removed the project type from VS2013.

If you want to do CLR (.net) then you would be better of doing it with C#.

Thanks for your reply I appreciate it. I really want to get get into game development. Would this be a waste of time for me? Or would this help me with building lets say like a 2d map builder for a game engine

Writing games has never really interested me so I can't comment on the usefulness for that but yes it could be useful for making tools to support other aspects such as a map builder.*
