GDI+ Programming: Creating Custom Controls using C# by Eric White, Chris Garrett.

Wrox Press Inc; ISBN: 1861006314
 

The title of the this book is kind of misleading. It is an excellent introduction to GDI+. In addition to GDI+ there is also some information on control designers that will be useful to control authors.
 

2 Programming Windows with C#?

ISBN: 0735613702
 

This is an excellent book for both Windows Forms and GDI+. As the title suggests it is oriented towards C# programmers. VB programmers should have no trouble following along. Petzold writes lucid prose.
