What do you mean here by CLR?

As per my understanding, CLR stands for Common Language Runtime, which is the virtual machine where all dotnet applications run.

By CLR i mean C++/CLR we are planning to create a window based application with moreover grid data.

Better go with WPF.Lots of developer support you can get from any communities like Code project or even from Microsoft.

I think you mean a choice between WPF and Windows Forms. Well, neither is 'best', they both have good and bad points. Only you can decide which one best suits your purpose.

Our main aim is to have good GUI with very fast processing of plenty of data.

Many thanks for valuable replies, can you please help me with the difference in efficiency and processing of both.
Which code is more efficient WPF or Windows form.

Neither. The only way to find out is to write some test code and run some tests. As with any programming language or framework it depends on too many variables and it is impossible to give a single answer.
