Finally I found a book which devotes an entire chapter on one topic. This books goes into great depth on each topic discussed. There are plenty of code examples which help to "nail-it". This is a must-have book for anyone who is serious about .Net.

This book really is great. If you don't know exactly how windows form programming is supposed to be done this will help you. I have been programming in C# for some time ( 1 1/2 years ) now. When building programs before this book I would guess and miss on how to get things done. This book showed me exactly how to add all the important functionality I saw in other applications into your own Windows Forms.
Rating: - Excellent
I bought this book with Erik Brown's Windows Programming Using C#, but I always read this book.
The writing style is concise and easy to read, and the sample code is just enough and get to the point. In a word, excellent!
Rating: - Excellent book.
As a computer scientist pursuing a Masters Degree, and teaching undergraduate courses, I am very picky about reading and learning material, even when choosing such material for my own education or enjoyment.
Also, while I appreciate new technology, I also fear aspects of it, such as "Form Designers" and "Drag and Drop" rapid prototyping of the GUI, without knowing the hidden code underneath it all. These are all wonderful tools, but my concern has been future generations of computer scientists with only 'dumbed down' knowledge of computer science and programming languages.
This book solves all of this. It not only shows you aspects of the built-in rapid GUI construction capabilities of VS .NET, but it shows you how the code works, and how to code such things by hand.
However, I WOULD NOT recommend this to someone who has had NO experience in C#. I would recommend getting Microsoft Visual C# .NET Step by Step guide first, and then perhaps get this book. This book makes some assumptions about your knowledge of terminology and C# itself.
Nevertheless, this is an incredible addition to any C# developer's library. It is easy to read, enjoyable to learn with, and maintains overall excellent quality throughout.

I liked this one.
It's friendly, and to the point.
It helped me solve many of my WinForms problems.
...and the code samples don't suck.
