Hi iceman,
Based on your post, it seems you are pretty new to C# yes?
And a very short answer to your question, I would recommend a step-by-step book, they will take you through your "baby steps" to get you up and running so you can continue on and start getting creative! :)
Also - just as a side point, if you are doing heavy DirectX stuff (such as games), it may be worth doing it in C++, especially if you are looking to work with them..
