Global Mouse and Keyboard Hooks .NET Libary in C#

Short Project Description
This library allows you to tap keyboard and mouse and to detect and record their activity even when an application is inactive and runs in background.

This library attaches to windows global hooks, tracks keyboard and mouse clicks and movement and raises common .NET events with KeyEventArgs and MouseEventArgs, so you can easily retrieve any information you need:

    Mouse coordinates
    Mouse buttons clicked
    Mouse wheel scrolls
    Key presses and releases
    Special key states

Background
The library is a successor of my CodeProject article Processing Global Mouse and Keyboard Hooks in C# http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/globalhook.aspx. This article was posted in 2004 and updated in 2006 and 2008. With nearly 2.000.000 views and over 25.000 downloads it became quite popular. During all this time until now I receive a lot of positive feedback and recommendations. There where also many useful contributions which where usually posted as code snippets in forum.
