I was told to do the following :

Write a visual basic program that shows your full name in a label field. The background of your name should be your eye color. The background of the form should be your hair color.
The text color should contrast with your eye color.

The instructions I have to start the program aren't for windows 8 which is what I am running.

 Click File | New Project...
 Under Templates on the left make sure Visual Basic is selected
 Select Windows Form Application in the middle window if not already selected
 At the bottom enter a project name

I click new project
under templates I click visual basic
form application I don't have windows form application though... I have blank app (XAML)
Grid App (XAML)
Split App (XAML)
Class Library (Windows Store apps)
Windows Runtime Component
Unit Test Library

Is blank app the one I should be using?
