Good C# Forms resource?

Does anybody know a good book (or other resource) that will help me
learn the .NET classes/interfaces so that I can get a better
understanding of windows forms? I am not looking for a basic book,
but rather something that will help me create more advanced forms. I
find myself getting lost in some of the details when I search for ways
to do something that takes a lot of customizations.

Also, anything for printing?

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

I found Chris Sells' book very helpful.

Also, The "Windows Forms" and "Windows Forms Controls" sections of the
Visual Studio.Net 2003 help are a quick overview with links to more
details. In my version of the help they're under "Visual Studio.NET -
Developing with Visual Studio .NET -Creating Windows Applications"
