Official Documentation
Last updated Jul 15, 2004.
The official documentation for the System.Windows.Forms.Application class describes the class members and gives some good examples, but it is very light on details of why you might want to do some of these things. Unfortunately, there is not much documentation available anywhere else, either. In many cases, you'll be forced to peruse the Windows Platform SDK documentation for further details.
