C# is almost ALL about windows Applications! Where did the belief come
from that it wouldn't be practical? (I guess it's pretty handy for
ASP.net, but that doesn't stop it from being good for windows!)

This is a pretty huge sample:

And there's many more on The Code Project and pretty much everywhere else.

C# is an excellent tool to develop Windows, Web and PocketPC apps in
addition to Windows Services. Just look at some of the incredible 3rd
party tools out there which boast "Written entirely in C#" or Entierly in
VB.NET. MSDN is probably the best place to start but in general the
assumption is that a given language is OK to write applications in. I'm not
sure why C# has the presumption of guilt that it's not OK and it needs to
prove it is. There are sooooooooooo many people writing in .NET right now
that it's self evident.

I built a pretty decent application in C# here: http://www.powerblog.net/
