Q: 

PInvoke.net is nice but where do I get good examples and information relating to usage of Win32 in .net apps?

Stuff like this and this is very nice and to some extent is representative for the information I am generally looking for. I found that using Win32 functionality in C# winform projects is possible and, when used wisely, can provide a much enhanced user experience. Sadly, information on MSDN can be scarce at best and almost never offers directives or real life examples as to how and when to use certain functionality. I am therefore looking for good resources on stuff like this. Books, websites, open source projects using lots of Win32 stuff... anything really.

+1  A: 

Check out this book on Interop from Orielly

Ah, good stuff, thanks!

The book is definitely useful but something specific to the Win32 api might also be necessary...
