Can anyone recommend some good online resources that show samples of what would be considered good Winforms "design" in terms of both User Experience and overall aesthetics. I'm looking for something that includes screenshots so as to inspire me..... not just a bullet list of best practices. Thanks!

I would guess that Paint.NET is probably the most-used WinForms application in the "real world", which I would say qualifies it for consideration. Aesthetically, it is fairly plain, but I find it very intuitive. Screenshots are here.

For inspiration, take a look at the Infragistics Quince UX site. It may not necessarily all fit your WinForms criteria, but there is a wealth of information in there whether you have Infragistics or not.
