Anyone know of a good book for writing Win Forms controls?

For Asp.Net I have the priceless Developing Microsoft ASP.NET Server Controls and Components book, but I have yet to find the equivalent for Windows Forms... anyone know of a good one that goes into the depth that Nikhil and Vandana do in their book?

Picked up Chris Sells' book Windows Forms Programming in C# today - looks really good (also has at least 1 whole chapter on resource files)

Jason,

Chris' book is excellent.

Another, Windows Forms Programming in C# by Erik Brown is not too bad:

I also blogged recently about the Smart Client Architecture and Design guide:

Not the in depth coverage, but a good best practices book.
