You need to attach to the MouseWheel event:

Occurs when the mouse wheel moves while the control has focus.

For example:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.MouseWheel += new MouseEventHandler(MouseWheelEvent);
        this.MouseMove += new MouseEventHandler(MouseWheelEvent);
    }

    private void MouseWheelEvent(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        Console.Out.WriteLine(e.Delta);
    }
}
