I have had the same problem finding a book like this. What I would suggest is to go out onto some of the "Open Source" sites like SourceForge.net and see if you can get your hands on an application that is like the one you are creating, or perhaps someone on this forum has a small app they would be willing to share with you that would give you a good example of how to apply all the goodies in .Net in a real world example.

Hope that helps!
