Notes:

I tried to use this to send files to the recycle bin. It failed (Marshal.GetLastWin32Error was 6, invalid handle) and sometimes threw a NullReferenceException. To make it work I did the following;

• Change from LPWStr to IntPtr for pFrom and pTo

    public IntPtr pFrom;
    public IntPtr pTo;

• Always set hwnd to my main app window (I was using IntPtr.Zero, this might not be required)
• Correctly treat pTo and pFrom as zero delimited double zero terminated.

In my case I only needed pTo so I just added a null byte to the end and used Marshal.StringToHGlobalUni() to set the value
